Relocated to Pincher Creek’s Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village from Waterton Lakes National Park in 1971, this cabin was John George “Kootenai” Brown’s second homestead and features some of his original furnishings. Brown was a local frontiersman who settled in the Waterton Lakes area in 1877 and spearheaded the establishment and conservation of Waterton Lakes National Park. Brown’s nickname, “Kootenai”, came from his association in the 1880s with the First Nations tribe of the same name.
