1. Gollaher Barn Marker

Inscription. This log barn was moved from a one-acre lot in Tooele at 343 North 50 West where it was built in the late 1860's or early 1870's. The barn was completely disassembled on the site, each log numbered, and then reassembled at the Mill property.

On December 3, 1879 William Culbertson Gollaher Jr. sold his property to his sister, Samantha Gollaher White, for $350 which included this barn and a two-room home. The barn's construction suggests it was built shortly after the pioneers moved beyond the mud wall which ended on Utah Avenue in Tooele.

The barn has sheltered such animals as goats, cows, pigs, as well as show and pleasure horses. The barn also contains a loft for hay storage. This barn was donated by the Del and Ida White Family to the Benson Grist Mill Historic Site in 1997.
