Welcome to the Homesteader Museum website! Our grounds are located in Powell, Wyoming in the northwest part of the state known as the heart of the Big Horn Basin and the Rocky Mountains. The museum celebrates homesteading in the west and the Shoshone Reclamation Project of 1908-1954. Please explore our site which features historical images, current and upcoming events/exhibits, directions on how to get to the building, and ways to support the museum.

Museum Log Building
The log building has a lively history. Built with logs from near the east entrance of Yellowstone for the American Legion in 1933, the grand space was used a banquet and community dance hall, roller rink and youth center. During WWII it briefly housed German Prisoners of War until the Deaver Camp was ready. The museum moved into the building in 1972.
