Pioneer Log Cabin — Attraction in Salt Lake City

Residence of Osmyn and Mary Deuel and Osmyn's brother, Amos, from fall 1847 to spring 1848.

“This historic structure is one of two surviving log homes built by Mormon pioneers upon arrival in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847. Originally it was part of the north extension of the pioneer fort erected by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints one mile southwest of here.

The home, 15 feet by 20 feet, was constructed of Douglas fir and lodgepole pine brought from the mountains east of the city. As restored by the Museum of Church History and Art, its furnishings reflect the lifestyle of the Deuels. Osmyn and Mary were among the most prosperous of the 1847 pioneers.

Osmyn was a blacksmith but he also farmed.

Another log structure owned by the Deuels in the fort's north enclosure probably served as the blacksmith shop. There Osmyn and

his brother William H., whose family lived next to Osmyn and Mary, carried on their trade. It is supposed that Amos worked in the shop also. The Deuels tilled and planted fourteen acres their first season in the valley and also had a garden plot near their homes.

The Deuels were natives of New York. A number of this extended family were Latter-day Saint converts in the early 1830s. They lived in Kirtland, Ohio, and Nauvoo, Illinois, before emigrating west.

After the Deuels left the log home to settle in Centerville, Utah, it is reported the cabin was used briefly as a militia armory. In 1849 Albert Carrington, later an apostle in the Church, purchased the home and moved it to his property one and one-half blocks north of here. It was acquired by the Deseret Museum in 1912. From 1919 to 1976 it was exhibited on Temple Square, then stored until it was moved to its present site where, amidst a landscape of pioneer and native Utah plants, it was opened 19 November 1985.

拓荒者木屋

奥斯明和玛丽·杜尔以及奥斯明的兄弟阿莫斯从1847年秋至1848年春的住所。

这座历史悠久的建筑是1847年摩门教拓荒者抵达盐湖谷后建造的两座现存的木屋之一。它最初是耶稣基督后期圣徒教会成员在距此地西南一英里处建造的拓荒者堡垒的北延伸部分。

这栋15英尺乘20英尺的木屋由从城东山区运来的花旗松和北美黑松建造而成。经教会历史与艺术博物馆修复后，其家具反映了杜尔一家的生活方式。奥斯明和玛丽是1847年拓荒者中最富裕的。

奥斯明是一名铁匠，但他也务农。

杜尔家族在堡垒北围墙内拥有的另一座木屋可能曾被用作铁匠铺。奥斯明和他的兄弟威廉·H.（威廉的家人住在奥斯明和玛丽隔壁）在那里经营生意。据推测，阿莫斯也曾在这家店工作。杜尔家族在山谷的第一个季节耕种了14英亩土地，并在家附近拥有一块菜园。

杜尔家族是纽约本地人。这个大家族中的许多人在19世纪30年代初皈依了后期圣徒。在向西迁移之前，他们居住在俄亥俄州的柯特兰和伊利诺伊州的诺沃。

据报道，杜尔家族离开木屋定居犹他州森特维尔后，这间小屋曾短暂地被用作民兵军械库。1849年，后来成为教会使徒的阿尔伯特·卡林顿买下了这栋房子，并将其搬到了距此地以北一个半街区的自家土地上。它于 1912 年被德撒律博物馆收购。从 1919 年到 1976 年，它在圣殿广场展出，然后被存放起来，直到被移到现在的位置，在一片先锋植物和犹他州本土植物的景观中，它于 1985 年...

Small but beautiful cabin. Worth to look...
