When visiting Homestead National Monument of America children may want to explore the Palmer-Epard Cabin or visit the Freeman School.

Homesteaders in some areas were able to build log cabins like the Palmer-Epard Cabin. However, in many areas trees were not available for constructing log cabins so homesteaders lived in dugouts and sod houses. Visit the Library of Congress to learn more about dugouts and sod houses. You can also learn more here and here and for kids there is an interesting "sod house" game at this Smithsonian website.
