Little is known about this hand-hewn log cabin built by Joseph Peltier.

Joseph Peltier relocated near Missoula then came to what is now Lincoln County to homestead. This is the first cabin built in Eureka.

Joseph Peltier was born in 1868 and died in 1952.

The Historical Village in Eureka, Montana is a collection of historic buildings and artifacts from the Tobacco Valley area. The properties, which include ten structures and their contents, are maintained and administered by volunteer workers and fundraisers inspired by a concern to preserve the history of the Tobacco Valley area. This unique collection of structures and artifacts was made possible by generous donations from a number of private donors and the Lincoln Electric Cooperative.
