This sod house was built in 1894 by Marshal McCully in 1894 neat Aline, OK and is the only one still standing in Oklahoma that was originally built by a homesteader. I grew up not too far from here so naturally when I was younger we took filed trips to see this house. I remember wondering how people lived back then, not completely understanding what those people went through. As it turns out, sod houses provide great insulation. As you can see from the picture above, there is a museum that encases the house to protect it from the elements.
