In 1855, Anson Call and his associates built a fort under the direction of President Brigham Young as protection against Indians. It was the most northerly outpost in Utah and measured one hundred twenty feet square, with walls eight feet high and three feet thick, built of rock. Part of that rock survives here. The circular stones came from one of the first burr flour mills built in northern Utah in 1852 and owned by Omer and Homer Call. The three Call brothers were early pioneers and builders of northern Utah.
