The Jacob Hamblin House is a historic residence and museum located in Santa Clara, Utah. Jacob Hamblin was a Mormon pioneer and missionary who founded Santa Clara in 1854. The home was constructed for Hamblin by missionaries in 1863, following a flood that had destroyed the town, including Hamblin's original dwelling.
In 1959, the house was given to Utah State Parks and Recreation which restored the structure, opening it as a historic house museum. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) acquired the property from the state in 1974, and has since operated the home, with its missionaries providing free guided tours.
