WILFORD WOODRUFF CABIN

Among out-of-the-way sites pertaining to early Church history is the Wilford Woodruff cabin in Randolph, Utah. The two-room cabin was built in 1871 for President Woodruff's wife, Sarah Brown, and also for Wilford Woodruff Jr., and his family. The home was restored in 1992 by the Town of Randolph. According to Flora Lamborn, who was mayor when the cabin was opened to the public: "History tells us that there was a fireplace in that dividing wall with access to both rooms for cooking and heating. The building as it is now still has the original logs and floor."

The Wilford Woodruff cabin, located 32 miles north of Evanston, Wyo., on Highway 89, is open to the public from the first part of July through the end of September.
