Jeremy Ranch Stone Cabin Added to National Register of Historic Places
Snyderville Basin, Utah (August 13, 2026) — Summit County is proud to announce: the Jeremy Ranch Stone Cabin has been officially listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service, effective August 3, 2026. The listing recognizes the cabin as a significant landmark in Utah's agricultural history and stands as a milestone for Summit County's commitment to honoring the heritage of county-owned and managed lands.
The Jeremy Ranch Stone Cabin was built around 1890 on the original Jeremy Ranch and served for decades as a seasonal shelter for ranch hands managing the Jeremy family's large sheep herds in East Canyon. Constructed from locally sourced sandstone using pioneer-era craftsmanship, the cabin is the only surviving structure associated with Jeremy Ranch and represents more than 70 years of sheep ranching history.
The cabin and surrounding land have changed hands over the decades, with the property most recently acquired by the county and placed under conservation easement to permanently protect the 910 Ranch. The property was listed in recognition of both its historical association with Utah's sheep industry and its potential to yield important historical information about life at a 19th-century sheep camp.
"This cabin is a rare and tangible connection to the Snyderville Basin’s agricultural heritage, and we are committed to preserving it for future generations,” said Jess Kirby, Director of Lands & Natural Resources.
The path to National Register listing was made possible in part through a 2024 grant from the Utah State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), which funded archaeological surveys across the 910 Ranch. That work revealed historic artifacts and buried subsurface anomalies that strengthened the case for the cabin's archaeological significance and supported the nomination.
Summit County is actively working to restore the structure. The county's goal is to make the cabin structurally sound. National Register listing opens the door to additional preservation grant funding, which the county will pursue as part of its restoration strategy.
Looking ahead, Summit County hopes to incorporate the cabin into a future trail system, allowing visitors to experience this landmark as part of an authentic ranching landscape that has changed little since the Jeremy family first grazed their sheep here.
