and other donorsConstructed about 1854 by John Patton, Jr., this house was built of rock from the temple hill just five years after arrival of the first settlers. Patton served as militiaman, legislator, sheriff, farmer and inventor of agricultural implements.

The John Patten House was constructed c.1854 of limestone. John Patten came to Utah in 1850 and settled in Manti. He was active in community affairs serving as a representative to the Utah Territorial Legislature, Sheriff of Sanpete County and a member of the City Council. The vernacular style house is an excellent example of early pioneer stone construction in Utah. The house was acquired May 23, 1976 with the assistance of a grant from the Utah Bicentennial Commission and the help of Dr. Ruth Graham, a descendant of John Patten.

Mayfield was settled in 1871. Some of the area’s founding families included the Andersons, Petersons, Petersen’s, Bartholomews, Jensens, Sorensen’s and Willdens. When the first white settlers came they found out that this area was considered sacred by the Indians who said it was a ” healing Ground”. It is said that no fighting has ever occurred in Mayfield.
