Used as a family home from 1876 to 1956, this cabin was the home of George and Hannah Wheeler and their ten children. George Walton Wheeler went west in 1854 with his father, Levi, bringing the first steam engine and sawmill west of the Missouri River, when George was ten years old. Hannah was born December 18, 1846, in Gloucester, England, the daughter of George and Harriet Harding Humphries, and her family came west with the Willie Handcart Company in 1856, with six children ages eighteen, fourteen, twelve, nine, six, and one walking alongside the handcart. Hannah Humphries and George Walton Wheeler married in 1862. Logs for the cabin were cut at the Wheeler Sawmill, floated miles down the Cub River, then taken from the river and hauled to the homestead. When Hannah and George moved into their little home in 1876, there was only enough flooring to go under the bed. A fresh water spring was near the cabin, and a granary and barn were also built. George Walton Wheeler made each building with full dovetail corners, and each square nail was made in his own blacksmith shop. From the cabin's location, all of Cache Valley can be seen.
