History
David Carson and Amelia Jane Rawlins were married July 31, 1853 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Soon after, they were asked by Latter-day Saint leaders to move to Cache Valley to help settle. The Carson family moved to Richmond. They first lived near City Creek before moving to this new parcel of land, owning about 160 acres.
It is not exact as to when the home and barn were constructed, but estimates say late 1880's. The farmstead was passed down to many Carson family members before 1971 when it was sold to a different family. Located on the farmstead is a barn, a home, granary, swine house, and a large metal-covered poultry house.
