About this property
A Night in a Homestead
The Glacier County Historical Museum, 45-minutes from Glacier National Park, offers you an authentic experience in our reproduction 1917 Maltby Homestead. This is historical tiny living at its best - no frills, just history. Only 8’ x 20,’ the homestead has a full-size bed, wood stove, dry sink, table and chairs. Oil lamps provide light at night. A historian-led tour and discussion is included. A full breakfast is served in the morning.
A historian will meet guests at the homestead for a discussion bringing you into the world of a homesteader. How did a homesteader get free land? What did a typical homesteader raise for crops? Learn about washing clothes using a stone boat, copper boiler, rapid washer, and washtub- and the five mile quest for water. Were all homestead houses this small? Your guide will show you the operation of the woodstove. You may use the woodstove for heating if necessary or to make coffee or tea. Try your hand grinding coffee beans in the grinder.
Come early and have a tour of the museum buildings. The museum grounds will be yours to wander after hours.
Our shower and restroom facility is located a short walk away. Battery-operated lantern will be provided for after-dark visits.

About the host
Your host
The Glacier County Historical Museum offers several buildings with exhibits which showcase the history of northcentral Montana on the hi-line. - Lewis & Clark, homesteading, native American artist John L. Clarke, the oil industry, and more!
Why they chose this property
The museum decided to open its doors with this new "Overnight in History" program in late 2020. We are located near Glacier National Park, just off of Hwy 2 outside of Cut Bank, Montana.
What makes this property unique
Our "Overnight in History" program provides guests opportunities to stay in our homestead house, oil worker's house (1935) or the 1981 Burlington Northern caboose. The museum grounds are available to guests to wander around after hours.
The museum, for this program, is labeled as a "guest ranch" - in other words, we are offering an experience. This is not like "glamping." Our amenities are quality, but simple. Our goal is to provide guests with an accurate idea of history.
