Cove Fort

After seeing much of Southern Utah, and on the way up to see family last week, we stopped at historic COVE FORT. It was used back in the late 1860's by many travelers going through Utah. It was a great day for us to come because there was only1 other family there. We got some great pictures and a personal tour of the fort. The boys were at the top of the fort here. It served as a lookout at the time. We got a great view down into the fort as well.

Here, the boys were getting a look out of the main look-outs of the fort ... like giant peek-wholes to see who was at the main gate.

This chair was the only original item from the restored fort. It belonged to the Hinckley family. Several years back, President Hinckley brought it back to the fort saying that this is where the chair belonged.

The boys were given a toy that was one that children who lived at the fort would have played with.

We enjoyed our tour around the fort. The boys had a lot of questions and great insight to the fort. We're so glad that we stopped.
