Follow the mile-long, narrow driveway to the 1872 cabin and former home of Brewster Higley. Standing in this peaceful setting beside the woods and Beaver Creek, it's easy to see how Higley was inspired to write the poem 'My Western Home,' known today as 'Home on the Range.' Inside, the cabin contains simple furnishings, photos of the renovation process, and other mementos. On an outside wall the words and music to 'Home on the Range' are engraved in stone, with credits to Dan Kelly for the music. Kansans (and Kansans at heart) might enjoy standing here and singing the song named the Kansas state song in 1947. (NRHP)
