Jesse N. Smith House (Parowan, Utah)

The Jesse N. Smith House, located in Parowan, Utah, is a two-story home that was constructed from June 1856 to March 1858.

Jesse N. Smith was asked by church leadership to assist in the settling of Parowan in 1851,[2] where he constructed and lived in the house.

[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975,[1] and was then thought to be the oldest house surviving in southern Utah.

The building remained unoccupied for a number of years until it was purchased by the Jesse N. Smith Family Association in 1962.

In 2017, the renovated house exists as a museum for visitors, showcasing the history of Jesse N. Smith and his wives.
