Miles Goodyear Cabin

The Miles Goodyear Cabin is a historic building in Ogden, Utah, built by trapper and trader Miles Goodyear on the Weber River in 1845 and was the foundation of the first permanent European settlement in Utah.

[2] The cabin was built in 1845 by Miles Goodyear at a location he called Fort Buenaventura.

In 1847 the fort was sold to Mormon settlers, along with livestock and the surrounding area for $1,950 (equivalent to about $63,765 in 2023).

It was moved again in 2011-2012, along with the museum to a lot on the corner of 21st and Lincoln Avenue, as part of the remodel of the Ogden Utah Temple.

[1] The submission paperwork notes that the roof is not original, and some of the logs were replaced after they had rotted.
