Fort Utah

In the winter of 1849–1850, a measles epidemic spread from the Mormon settlers to the Ute camps, killing many Indians and heightening tensions.

"[7] In response, Brigham Young authorized a campaign against the Utes [8] telling them to kill all the men and take the women and children captive.

Constructed with a concrete base and a center section of native stone, the monument was topped with cement molded into a fluted shape meant to reflect the fort's architecture.

The replica included log construction, embrasures, a cannon situated on a raised center platform, and two block houses in opposite corners of the structure.

Citing safety issues and lack of historical accuracy in the replica, the structure was demolished by Provo City in early 2017.

Rather it was determined that the site of the fort was near where Interstate 15 crosses the Provo River, and that the freeway or a nearby mobile home park, was likely built directly over the location.
