Behunin Cabin is a 14 x 16 ft (4 x 5 m) home built in 1882 by Elijah Cutler Behunin in what is now Capitol Reef National Park. Behunin was a member of a group of Mormons who were the first whites to settle in the area.

The Behunin family had eight children. The two youngest children slept in the homestead while the older boys slept in a cave. The girls spent the night in a wagon. The house had a cooking area and a fireplace. The floor was covered with woven cloths. They probably ate outside. The family stayed here for a short time. A flood of the nearby Fremont River washed away their field and they moved to Fruita.
