HomesteadingDakota.pdf

From 1860 to 1920, thousands of homesteaders poured into Dakota. Free land offered by the Homestead Act drew people from across the country and overseas. Some learned the ways of the land and stuck it out. They rooted here, making Dakota home for themselves and their descendants. Others came for only a short while before moving on. This exhibit examines the homesteading experience in Dakota.
