SPRINGDALE, Washington County — Pioneer handwriting is still readable on a wall in one of Springdale's original buildings built by its founders. And now, a grant will help honor the Washington County town's tradition of neighbors helping neighbors in need.
The grant awarded to the town will help restore the Bishop's Granary and hopefully uncover some of its mystery.
Springdale's principal planner Niall Connolly told St. George News that historians are still determining locations the building has been. Its small size allowed it to be moved throughout the 1800s.
"Springdale has been awarded funding from the certified local government fund, which will allow us to hire a historian to do an intensive level survey of the Bishop's Granary, and that will give us more information on the history of the structure and the story behind it," Connolly said. "And that will then allow us to know the best way of interpreting the site for some interpretive signage telling the story of this building and how it would have been."
