This pioneer log cabin is one of the few original pioneer log homes remaining in the Pleasant View area.  It is representative of the families and fortitude of those early pioneers in the Pleasant View area. 

In February 1880 William H. Hickenlooper, an 1847 pioneer from Nauvoo and Bishop of the Salt Lake City 6^th Ward, moved his wife Ann Ham and their three sons Orson, Charles, and George from Salt Lake to a 69-acre property located north of Ogden and occupied this log structure (current address about 3200 W 950 N).  William and Ann had visited family members  Belinda Hickenlooper Wade and John Thomas Hickenlooper in Pleasant View previously and enjoyed the rural life. 

Ann and her sons lived in this one-room cabin for about two years at which time they moved into a larger three-room adobe home the boys had built on the same property.  Later, Rachel Hickenlooper McLane, her husband Duncan, and their 5 children moved into the one-room cabin.  In about 1890 the structure was relocated to the northeast corner of the property (Currently 875 W 3200 No., just south of the Orchard Creek Elementary School) where it would remain.   Father William H. Hickenlooper died in January 1888 followed by his wife Ann in February.
