George Owen Knapp, founder of Union Carbide, built this one-room cabin in 1925 to store supplies while camping in the area. He stopped camping in 1928 and no longer used it. The cabin saw occasional use until Kings Canyon National Park was created in 1940, and in the 1950s the National Park Service took over its maintenance. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 1978.

The cabin is named after George Owen Knapp, the Union Carbide founder who built it in 1925 as a storage base while camping near Cedar Grove. After he stopped camping in 1928 it fell out of his use, and the National Park Service took over its maintenance in the 1950s.

The cabin sits close to Highway 180 with parking available nearby for visitors exploring the park. The area is most accessible during warmer months when the road is fully open and walking conditions around the site are safe.

The granite walls of the canyon display horizontal scratches left by rocks embedded in glaciers that ground across the stone thousands of years ago. These marks serve as visible records of the region's ice age history.
