It was a fascinating glimpse into the past. The modest one-room cabin, offers a unique perspective on the early life of this infamous outlaw. Stepping inside, but barely inside because plexiglass blocks you from going any further. The small size truly highlights the simple and hardworking lifestyle of the family. While the furnishings are basic, consisting of a single bed, table, and chairs, they effectively portray the pioneer life of the late 19th century. Beyond the cabin, the surrounding farmland, with its sweeping views, adds context to the challenges and opportunities the family faced. The property also includes a small barn, further illustrating the self-sufficient nature of their lives. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Butch Cassidy's childhood home for anyone interested in Wild West history or curious about the formative years of this legendary figure.

There was a picnic area behind the cabins that would be nicely shaded in the summer afternoons. There are also restrooms and a trailhead at the parking lot. It was a fun stop that took about 10-15 minutes to take it all in. A great place to take a bathroom break and stretch your legs while seeing a...
