J.K. Ralston Cabin-Studio

This log cabin was built in 1946 by the renowned western artist.  It served as his studio for 40 years.  Located 3 miles west of Billings along Grand Avenue, commercial growth gradually surrounded the cabin.  In 1988 it was moved to the campus at Rocky Mountain College.  The Western Heritage Center acquired the cabin in 2004 and  relocated it to this location on Montana Avenue.  The cabin is visible evidence of his life and represents a legacy of our history through art.  Dedicated April 14, 2005

Address:
2822 Montana Avenue Billings, Montana
