Hector C. Haight settled in North Cottonwood, now Farmington, in 1847, and others followed; in 1849 a ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized there with Joseph L. Robinson as bishop. Built in 1861 for Charles W. Penrose by his friends, this cabin was typical of the homes of that day. It was later moved log by log to the courthouse grounds, rebuilt and dedicated in 1926 as a Daughters of Utah Pioneers relic hall, and returned to its original site in 1956.
