We stopped here a couple of years ago on our way down to St. George and we found its history really interesting. We stopped again so Laura and her family could have the same experience. REALLY, at this point, on the drive you really need a break and an opportunity to stretch your legs. Poor Lexi had already wet through her clothes and walked around the fort in her diaper.
President Gordon B Hinckley's father Bryant was asked to build the fort to provide a rest stop for pioneers as they traveled. It was a half way point between Fillmore and Cedar City. One interesting fact about the fort is that it never was attacked by indians! The missionary couples now show a short video about the history and building of Cove Fort that wasn't available before.
I really enjoy visiting church historical sites.
