Pioneer Sundial

Parowan was founded January 13, 1851 by settlers from northern communities under the leadership of George A. Smith. Among the early structures were a large liberty pole and a sundial.

This marker designates the site of the community sundial placed here in 1852. The base of this structure is a burr from the Pioneer Grist Mill.

This sundial is a reproduction of the original made by the pioneers of Parowan. The Liberty Pole was one block south.

Marker is at the intersection of Main Street and 100 South, on the right when traveling north on Main Street.
