Parowan Old Rock Church Museum

Parowan's settlers started this stone church in 1863 near the center of the original fort, and it took thirteen years to finish. Besides worship it held dances, plays, school and a basement amusement hall, and it housed Parowan High School for the 1917 to 1918 school year; church use ended in 1918. The Daughters of Utah Pioneers curate the museum inside.
