Scenic Byway 143 - Utah's Patchwork Parkway
Parowan, UT

Parowan City was the first pioneer settlement in southern Utah. The original town square houses the Old Rock Church, constructed in 1863 and home to a Daughters of the Utah Pioneers museum, a war memorial, and rose garden. Many historic structures are scattered across the town.

This town served as the staging area for settlements across the southern reaches of Mormon settlement. Nearby petroglyphs and relics also provide evidence of prehistoric cultures in the area.
