Log Cabin

This original log cabin represented the housing of early pioneers in the area. It was first occupied during the 1880s in Dry Valley, Utah, by three brothers, Warren, John, and Scotty Williamson, who are believed to have built the home and homesteaded the land on which it stood. Their mother, the widow of a Civil War veteran, lived there on a very small pension. Carl and Kathryn T Williamson were married in 1933 and made the cabin their first home. For the first few years of their marriage, Carl worked for the Williamson brothers, earning $15 per month in cash and $15 per month from calf sales, and those savings were set aside to pay baby expenses while income from farm products covered daily expenses.
