Oldest Cabin in Price

This is thought to be the oldest cabin in Price — a simple log house Leander Clifford put up on the new town site in 1884, when Price was little more than a rail siding in the desert. The Daughters of Utah Pioneers bought it in 1928 and moved it to the tabernacle grounds to hold their collection of pioneer relics, then shifted it again around 1936. A survivor of the town's very first days, it has spent its long retirement as a keeper of the things Price wanted to remember.
