The Levi Roberts cabin, a well-preserved and showcased gem of Kaysville-Layton's early history

 

      The Levi Roberts cabin, built in 1865 near Kays Creek, as shown in a 1960s photograph.

THE Levi Roberts cabin is one of the best preserved gems of Kaysville-Layton's early history.

(Sadly, this cabin was incorrectly identified on page 12 of the "Images of America Layton" printed book as the Joseph "Cap" Hill cabin.)

While the Levi Roberts cabin was originally located in Kaysville, most of the land homesteaded by Levi Roberts was eventually included in Layton and the Roberts family is still farming a small portion of the original homestead.

The Levi Roberts cabin was donated to the "This is the Place Monument Park" in Salt Lake City in 1977 and has since been restored.

The cabin was built in 1865 and now resides in what is know as This is the Place Heritage Park, at 2601 East Sunnyside Avenue in Salt Lake City.
