Produced the first iron manufactured west of the Mississippi River. Thirty-Five men, the founders of Cedar City, constructed and operated the blast furnace. They established the first mining camp in Utah a few miles west of here. From which they procured the iron ore. The foundry was operated for 18 years at a cost of $1,000,000. Ore used in this monument was hauled here from the mines by pioneer workers and the pig iron bars in this structure were made by them.","sponsor":"","subtitle":"The Old Iron Foundry","accessinfo":"","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO18164365 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6vt2qcx\/3810490\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO18164365 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO18164365 BCX0\">https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6vt2qcx\/3810490<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO18164365 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO18164365 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO94951275 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6hm6c8s\/8454235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO94951275 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO94951275 BCX0\">https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6hm6c8s\/8454235<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO94951275 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO94951275 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO226711538 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6r21znh\/3810647\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO226711538 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO226711538 BCX0\">https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6r21znh\/3810647<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO226711538 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO226711538 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO181415889 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/collections.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6gj3p34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO181415889 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO181415889 BCX0\">https:\/\/collections.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6gj3p34<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO181415889 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO181415889 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a class=\"Hyperlink SCXO61514194 BCX0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarcity.org\/AgendaCenter\/ViewFile\/Minutes\/_01122021-1412\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun SCXO61514194 BCX0\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXO61514194 BCX0\">https:\/\/www.cedarcity.org\/AgendaCenter\/ViewFile\/Minutes\/_01122021-1412<\/span><\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\" class=\"TextRun EmptyTextRun SCXO61514194 BCX0\"><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXO61514194 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span>","<a href=\"https:\/\/collections.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6934xbh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/collections.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6934xbh<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6g8qhpq\/30716834\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/newspapers.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6g8qhpq\/30716834<\/a>","<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksl.com\/article\/51478005\/cedar-citys-historic-iron-marker-to-be-restored-following-yearslong-hunt-for-missing-pieces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.ksl.com\/article\/51478005\/cedar-citys-historic-iron-marker-to-be-restored-following-yearslong-hunt-for-missing-pieces<\/a>"],"files":{"https:\/\/uptla.tylerthorsted.com\/files\/fullsize\/95f141f2ac78e494475d20512e6f7cb2.jpg":{"id":208,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","title":"Plaque","thumbnail":"https:\/\/uptla.tylerthorsted.com\/files\/square_thumbnails\/95f141f2ac78e494475d20512e6f7cb2.jpg","description":"<a href=\"https:\/\/collections.lib.utah.edu\/ark:\/87278\/s6934xbh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"The Old Iron Foundry 200 N Main Street\">Markers and Monuments Collection<\/a>"}}}
