A wooden fort built by the mormons in the 1800's. It was originally built to get the telegraph messages from Fillmore to Beaver. It was a pony express stop and a safe haven from the Indians for mormons traveling to Salt Lake.
It's a living history museum about the people who settled in that area. Free to the public.
It is an Historical Fort that was built by Early Utah Settlers in 1867 at the request of Brigham Young
Ira Hinckley was called by Pres. Brigham Young in 1867 to build a fort near Cove Creek. The fort is built from volcanic rock imbedded in lime mortar, and was built as a protection from the Indians. It housed their telegraph and mail stations and served as a waystation for the early pioneer travelers passing through. Cove Fort has been restored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is available for free tours all year long.
It's a stone building that was built and then moved to its present location. It served as a pony express depot, Housed travelers, and had a small farm. It's a interesting stop in a long stretch of nothingness. Very nice spot.
A mormon person will give you a very interesting tour. In the middle of nowhere but worth stopping!
