Salt Creek Fort

Salt Creek Fort was completed in November 1854 by the Pioneers of Salt Creek (Nephi) for protection against Indians. The inclosure was 3 blocks square, extending from 1st West to 2nd East and from 1st North to 2nd South Streets. The original wall, composed of gravel, mud and straw, was 12 feet high, 6 feet wide at the bottom, 2 1/2 feet wide at the top, and 420 rods in length. Gates were provided in the north and south walls. This section of the original wall was removed to this site for preservation on November 7, 1933.
