Shane Cabin

[Ben Egbert]

This old cabin was used in the movie Shane. This was the cabin used by Ernie Wright not the one used by the Sterrets which were the main featured cabin where Shane stayed. Those cabins and the town were movie sets and later torn down.

This cabin is on the Gros Ventre road and about a mile or two above Kelly.

CC welcome.

Here is a view of the cabin from the outside (different day).

Nice use of the window - brings new meaning to the phrase framing your shot

Were those structures specifically built for the movie set or were they pat of an old homestead that got repurposed for the movie? They looked old enough to be the real deal and corner joints in the cabin walls appear to have been shaped by hand with an adze.

Edit: just answered my own question - it is a real homestead known as the Luther Taylor Cabin and Homestead and was built in 1916.

This cabin is the real deal. It was originally the Luther Taylor homestead.
