Anna Scherlie Homestead Shack

The Anna Scherlie Homestead Shack, located in Turner, Montana, is a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1998. Established during the early 20th century, it reflects the story of women homesteaders in the region, with Anna Scherlie arriving in 1913 and cultivating forty acres of crops. The shack, a modest 14.5 by 14.5 feet woodframe building, has remained largely unchanged since Anna's time, showcasing her preference for a simple lifestyle amidst the challenges of drought and economic hardship. Visitors can explore this unique piece of history, preserved by the Cederburg family, who maintain it as Anna left it, offering a glimpse into the life of early settlers in Montana.
