Seagull Monument Fountain

Open
50 W North Temple
Salt Lake City, UT 84150

The Seagull Monument in Salt Lake City, Utah, commemorates the "miracle of the gulls" where native seagulls saved the Mormon pioneers' crops from crickets in 1848. The bronze sculpture atop the monument depicts two seagulls devouring insects, symbolizing the pivotal role these birds played in the settlers' first year in Utah.

Erected by the LDS Church on Temple Square, the Seagull Monument was designed by sculptor Mahonri M. Young and dedicated in 1913. This historic monument stands as a tribute to the faith and resilience of the early Mormon settlers in the face of adversity.
