An Original Hitching Ring

During the last half of the 19th century, commercial activity developed along Parowan's main street. Freighters rode into the community with huge freight wagons pulled by draft animals, bringing goods to the pioneer settlement. They secured their animals to hitching rings while off-loading their wares, a practice that continued into the early 20th century. Originally, several rings stood along this street.
