*[https://heritage.utah.gov/tag/fort-cameron Fort Cameron] — Located just east of Beaver City, it served as a military post from 1872 to 1883. It later became a school, the Beaver Branch of Brigham Young Academy. That school closed when the state legislature required each county to provide tuition-free schools. One of the original buildings now serves as a private residence and some evidence of other remains of the fort exists. | *[https://heritage.utah.gov/tag/fort-cameron Fort Cameron] — Located just east of Beaver City, it served as a military post from 1872 to 1883.
