Notes
  • STORED ON SITE. mchr
  • Significance: John Wesley Wolfe, a Veteran of the Civil War, built the homestead known as Wolfe Ranch around 1898, seeking good fortune in the newly established state of Utah. It is located on the Salt Wash, at what is now the beginning of the Delicate Arch Trail. Wolfe and his family lived there a decade or more, then moved back to Ohio. The cabin remains an echo of what must have been a remarkable experience.

The Wolfe Ranch included a small cabin, a dugout cellar, and a corral. The walls and foundations of the cabin and dugout are of unhewn, knotched Cottonwood and Juniper logs. The roofs are also of log, with shale and Juniper bark on top and in the cracks. The cabin and dugout were built in 1907 by John Wesley Wolfe, his son Fred, and his son-in-law, Ed Stanley. Wolfe sold the ranch in 1910 to Tommy Larson, Marvin Turnbow bought the ranch in 1914 and the cabin became locally known at Turnbow Cabin. In 1938 the Ranch became part of Arches National Monument. In 1971 the site was officially dedicated as Wolfe Ranch Environmental Study Area. The Wolfe Ranch Historic District was listed in the National Register in 1975.
