Historical Facts:
The property which includes Memorial Hill was owned at one time by Jesse Hughes McCarrell, lovingly known as "Uncle Jesse." Later, Elijah Watkins owned the land, and eventually, Wasatch County purchased his holdings, including the hill and surrounding land for the purpose of memorializing local area war veterans.

The spiral road winds around the hill to the top, and memorial pillars sit at the top with brass plaques where veterans' names are inscribed. It appears the project was concluded about 1927. There was a revived effort in 1990 to collect additional names. Today, an ongoing database contains names of Wasatch citizens who served from the Revolutionary War to present day. Search the database by surname. More information about the Memorial Hill Restoration Committee can be found here.
