The Jeremy Ranch Stone Cabin was officially added to 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 represents a milestone for Summit County's commitment to honoring the heritage of county-owned and managed lands.
Built around 1890 on the original Jeremy Ranch, the cabin served for decades as a seasonal shelter for ranch hands managing the Jeremy family's sheep herds in East Canyon. The structure was constructed from locally sourced sandstone using pioneer-era craftsmanship and is the only surviving structure associated with the ranch.
The property was recently acquired by the county and placed under a conservation easement to protect the 910 Ranch. Summit County is working to restore the structure to make it structurally sound and hopes to eventually incorporate the site into a future trail system.
In other community developments, Summit County launched four new recycling drop-off locations to provide residents with easier access to household waste recycling. These sites are located at the Ledges Event Center, Kamas Park & Ride, Ecker Hill Park & Ride, and Three Mile Landfill.
The new sites are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and accept residential glass and mixed recyclables. Summit County plans to expand the program to include cardboard and food waste later in 2026 and throughout 2027.
Additionally, the 8th Community Noxious Weeds Tour was scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Richardson Flat Park & Ride. The event offered hands-on instruction to identify noxious weeds and provided opportunities to speak with experts from various local divisions and organizations.
