Hogan Pioneer Cabin

Eric Hogan built this cabin to last, and it did — as house, then granary, then museum. A Scandinavian convert who settled South Bountiful in 1848, he raised it in 1858 of native logs, pegging the slab roof together with wood and reaching the loft by a ladder in the corner. His wife Ingeborg kept the home; when Hannah joined the family in 1862, five children were born within these walls. After seventeen years the Hogans built something bigger and the cabin became a granary. Their descendants gave it to be preserved, and it was moved here in 1976.
