Nearest city: West Glacier, Montana Coordinates: 48°48′27″N 114°19′21″W / 48.8075°N 114.3225°WCoordinates: 48°48′27″N 114°19′21″W / 48.8075°N 114.3225°W Built: 1908 Architect: McCarthy,Jeremiah Architectural style: Other Governing body: National Park Service MPS: Glacier National Park MRA NRHP Reference#: 86003691 Added to NRHP: December 16, 1986[1] The McCarthy Homestead Cabin is a remnant of early settlement in what would become Glacier National Park. Jeremiah McCarthy built the log homestead in the North Fork area in 1908 after completion of the North Fork Road and passage of the Forest Homestead Act.[2]
The cabin is the only representative of pre-1910 homesteading activity on the west side of the Continental Divide in Glacier. During the 1930s a Civilian Conservation Corps camp was built nearby. At about the same time, the cabin, and others nearby, transitioned from homesteading inholdings to summer cabins for their owners. In the 1950s some of the CCC structures were relocated to the vicinity of the cabin. The National Park Service purchased the property in 1970.[3]
