Public Works

Parowan, a pioneer industrial center, was settled in 1851. Water for manufacturing and industry was carried by wooden flume from the canyon to the fort. Along this water line, industries known as the Public Works were established, including a cabinet shop, tannery, gun and machine shop, blacksmith shop, wooden tub and bucket factory, pottery factory, saddle and harness shop, and shoe shop. Inside the fort was a grist burr mill.
