The Home Place
Bozeman, Montana
2023
I know that homesteading in the west around the turn of the 20th was to a large degree anything but an idyllic endeavor. But still, this view from the entrance to the Museum of the Rockies Living History Farm made such a life look very peaceful and inviting.
(As an aside, the title for this image was a nod to the book by the same title by writer and photographer Wright Morris.)
This is inviting and could be what some successful homesteads grew into over time. Assuredly none began lookng like this!
Yep, lots of hard work even goes into making a replica of a homestead, much less the real thing.
