Pioneer Sundial
Parowan was founded January 13, 1851 by settlers
from northern communities under the leadership
of George A. Smith. Among the early structures were
a large liberty pole and a sundial.
This marker designates the site of the community
sundial placed here in 1852. The base of this
structure is a burr from the pioneer grist mill.
This sundial is a reproduction of the original
made by the pioneers of Parowan. The liberty pole
was one block south.
