Deuel Pioneer Log Cabin

NPS Photo
The log cabin is an original pioneer home that was built in 1847 at a cost of $60. Only one other Salt Lake home built that year still exists; it is located at This is the Place Heritage Park. Lumber was scarce in the largely treeless valley, and most homes built after 1847 were constructed of adobe brick. The cabin is located between the museum and the Family History Library and is free to visit.
