About Morgan-case Homestead
Morgan-Case Homestead is a rustic log cabin situated on approximately 320 acres along Rock Creek. The cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance relating to early homesteading and ranching in Granite County and western Montana. It was an active work site from 1890 to 1951.
In addition to being a great home base for big game hunters, the cabin provides access to a variety of recreational opportunities, including blue-ribbon trout fishing and trails that are open to hiking and horseback riding, as well as cross country skiing and snowshoeing.

From Missoula, Montana, travel east on Interstate 90 for about 20 mi to exit 126. Drive south on Rock Creek Road for about 30 mi. Rock Creek Road is a hardened surface for 12 mi and the remainder is a gravel, single-lane road, with intermittent pull-outs. It is not suitable for RVs or trailers, due to blind turns, steep grades and narrow width. Maps are available online or for purchase by calling the Missoula Ranger District.
During winter, take the Drummond exit 153 on Interstate 90 and follow Scenic Highway 1 south toward Philipsburg. One mile north of Philipsburg, turn west on State Road 348. Travel 13 mi west, cross Rock Creek and turn north onto Rock Creek Road. Continue 10 mi to the homestead. Winter access is plowed within 2 mi of the cabin. A four-wheel drive vehicle equipped with chains is recommended. Travelers may also want to bring an alternate form of transportation (skis or snowshoes) to complete the route.
Highway access
The campground is accessible via Interstate 90, which is approximately 20 miles to the west. Travelers can take exit 126 to reach Rock Creek Road.
