The stone fort is actually about a mile off the highway, so it's not visible from the road, but is easy to reach.

Off 15 and 70 junction, old fort erected in 1867, near a volcano, built with volcanic rock. Only one shot fired there, because two brothers found a gun. 15 minute video, free tour, lots of Books of Mormon and very obviously run by the Latter Day Saints, who are pretty friendly and informative.
