Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits, Information

The land on which Homestead National Historical Park stands today has water, trees, grass, and good soil. It has been rediscovered by many generations of Native Americans both as a point to live and perhaps even grow crops. Before Daniel Freeman homesteaded here, there is even evidence of other squatter homes on his claim.
