Elijah Cutler Behunin Cabin
Description
The Behunins lived there for only a year, leaving for Fruita after a flood threatened the house and its fields. The one story sandstone structure measures 13 feet (4.0 m) by 16.5 feet (5.0 m), with a single room. Elijah and his wife and their 13 children all lived within the home. The walls are sandstone covered with a plaster-cement wash. The roof structure is wood, covered with wood sheathing and bentonite clay. The cabin was renovated in the 1960s by the National Park Service and represents the most intact example of a settler cabin in Capitol Reef National Park.
The Behunin cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1999.
