McWilliams Homestead, U.S. Patent No. 1210868

About this project

JACKRABBIT HOMESTEAD is a book, audio tour and installation project by Kim Stringfellow exploring the cultural legacy of the Small Tract Act in Southern California’s Morongo Basin region near Joshua Tree National Park. Stories from this underrepresented regional history are told through the voices of local residents, historians, and area artists—many of whom reside in reclaimed historic cabins and use the structures as inspiration for their creative work.

Jackrabbit Homestead acknowledges that U.S. public lands disposed by the federal government for Small Tracts during the mid-twentieth century are traditional lands of the American Southwest’s Indigenous people, including but not limited to, the various bands of Cahuilla, Chemehuevi, Serrano, Western Shoshone, and Southern Paiute people—all who are past, present, and future stewards of the regions where jackrabbit homesteading occurred.
