Elijah Cutler Behunin Cabin
Elijah Cutler Behunin Cabin, Pioneer cabin in Capitol Reef National Park, US.
The sandstone Behunin Cabin measures 13 by 16.5 feet with a single room, wooden roof, and cement-washed exterior walls.
Elijah Cutler Behunin constructed this homestead in 1883, establishing one of the first settler dwellings in the Capitol Reef region.
The cabin demonstrates the living conditions of Mormon pioneer families who settled in southern Utah during the late nineteenth century.
Visitors can reach the cabin through an unpaved parking area off State Route 24, which accommodates standard vehicles and recreational vehicles.
A family of fifteen once inhabited this small space, with many children sleeping outdoors due to limited interior space.
