The Fort Harmony Site is a historic site with a monument in New Harmony, Utah. It was established on May 20, 1854 by Brigham Young, who served as the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1847 to 1877.[2] It was built with adobe, and it served as the home of Mormon settlers like John D. Lee until 1862.[2] The site was later acquired by homesteader Andrew G. Schmutz.[2] A historical marker was later installed by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers.[2] The site has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 16, 1979.[1]
