Park Details:
This National Monument was established to recognize the importance of the Homestead Act of 1862 and the lives of the pioneers who settled land under its provisions. The Monument is on the site of a homestead claimed on January 1, 1863, the first day the law took effect. The monument also includes 100 acres of restored tallgrass prarie and the Freeman School, a one-room school house built in 1871.
