About
The Homesteader Museum
Preserving the memories of American West settlers in Powell, WY
Sharing the Big Horn Basin’s history with the surrounding community and beyond is our passion and purpose. Through promoting agritourism and preserving homesteading practices and histories of the Shoshone Project, our various exhibits and programs are tailored to all ages.
Visitors love climbing aboard the caboose, exploring the homesteader cabins, and learning about the lives of the American West homesteaders/settlers.
More than just historical artifacts
We are a resource for research and a place for scholars to interpret cultural and historical materials.
