Fremont School Bell

Fremont School Bell

Early settlers of Fremont arrived in the spring of 1876 with a fervent desire to provide their children with a quality education. In 1879, William Taylor and William Wilson Morrell built the first schoolhouse using hewn logs. Each child had a log seat and a slate writing board.

In 1884, a new meetinghouse was constructed near the center of town. The schoolhouse was moved to the site of the meetinghouse, providing two buildings for school sessions. Eventually, five teachers were employed to serve the growing population.

In the 1890s, Joseph Anderson commissioned a two-story rock mercantile building, to be used for education. The building was later sold to school trustees. A belfry was added along with this 300-pound bell. The Fremont School Bell became an integral part of the community and was rung fifteen minutes before school as well as on holidays and notable occasions. In 1921, the school building was abandoned. The bell was salvaged at that time and then assumed lost until its location was discovered at a private home in California. The bell was refurbished and gifted to the Geyser Camp of Daughters of Utah Pioneers.

This is D.U.P. Marker #595, erected in 2024 by the Geyser Camp Daughters of Utah Pioneers and located at John C. Fremont Park in Fremont, Utah
