pioneer homesteads
Early settler plots
Pioneer homesteads were properties established by settlers on frontier land, typically under government programs like the U.S.
Homestead Act of 1862, which granted parcels to those who worked and improved them.
The term evokes self-sufficient farms carved from wilderness: The pioneer homestead had a log cabin, a well, and forty acres of cleared land.
Many such properties are now preserved as historic sites.
