Wallsburg Fort

Story

This monument stands 62 feet South, 2 feet East of the center of the fort built in 1862 by William M. Wall and the pioneers of Wallsburg. 20 families lived in the fort which was 400 feet square. This valley, known to the Indians as Little Warm Valley, was later called Round Valley and finally Wallsburg, honoring its founder.

Factoid

Constructed of petrified wood from the hills near Heber City. Had a small metal plaque above main plaque at some point. Plaque removed in 1992 to inspect time capsule which was unsalvable, then replaced.
