History

Seeking a suitable railroad route through the central Rockies, John C. Freemont and his company reached Parowan on February 6, 1854, in such a feeble condition that they could barely drag themselves down the trail. As Freemont recalled, the Mormons took them in, one or two in each home, fed them, and nursed them back to health. At this spot, Freemont himself was cared for by Mrs. John C. L. Smith, who later became Mrs. Wm. C. McGregor.
