The site is reportedly on private property in the Big Bend of the Kootenay River and is not marked with roadside markers or obvious access points. The site was identified by Jacob Meyers in October 1915 although he was unable to tie it to a specific post. Meyers found four chimney bottoms and three cellar depressions and placed a stone marker at the site. This stone marker was displaced by later road construction and now resides in the Libby Heritage Museum in Libby, Montana. According to the Heritage Museum, the site (but not the marker) was "relocated" at the Big Bend in 2007. The marker and the associated tale are shown here. | |||
