Main Street’s Rock Work

During the 1930s and 1940s, the Public Works Administration provided many projects all over our nation to provide employment for the people. In 1941–1943, Hyrum City took advantage of the opportunity to improve our Main Street and the cemetery under the PWA project. The PWA furnished all expenses and labor, the CCC boys did most of the ordinary work under the jurisdiction of the mayor and city council. The streets were oiled and on Main Street, curb and gutters were installed and the special rock walls were laid. T. W. Petersen hauled all the rock in his truck from Blacksmith Fork Canyon.
