Huber was a fruit grower, poet, and LDS missionary who served as a catalyst for the establishment of Swiss immigrants in the West. His home, one of Utah's few documented examples of Swiss-American architecture, served as a community gathering place. Members of the Huber family lived in the house until the property became part of the Wasatch Mountain State Park in the early 1960s. The ranch house and creamery have been meticulously restored. The creamery was built around 1900 of local "pot rock." Utilizing extensive documentation from old photographs, family records, and on-site artifacts, a team of skilled architects and contractors restored each individual architectural component to its original appearance. The house's historic kitchen which had been removed was reconstructed in its original location using archaeological evidence and photos.
