Knapp Cabin is a historic cabin located in Kings Canyon National Park west of Cedar Grove, California. The one-room cabin was built by George Owen Knapp, a Union Carbide executive, in 1925. Knapp used the cabin for storage while camping in the area; however, after Knapp stopped camping in 1928, he no longer used the cabin. The cabin saw occasional use until the creation of Kings Canyon National Park in 1940; in the 1950s, the National Park Service assumed maintenance of the cabin.[2]
Knapp Cabin was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 1978.[1]
