Victory Fountain (WWI)

Springville's most famous son sculpted its war memorial. Cyrus Dallin — born here in 1861, later renowned for bronzes like 'Appeal to the Great Spirit' — created the Victory Fountain, dedicated on Memorial Day 1920 to the town's soldiers of the First World War. Dallin spent his career in the East but never fully left Utah behind, and the fountain brought his hand home to Springville, the small farm town that would grow into Utah's 'Art City' and build the state's oldest art museum. The water honors the men who did not return.
