The Home on the Range Cabin, near Smith Center, Kansas, is a log cabin built by Dr. Brewster Higley VI in 1875. It is associated with the song "Home on the Range", written by Higley as a poem in 1872 while living on a dugout that he built on the banks of the Beaver Creek. Higley's friend Dan Kelley set the poem to music; the song eventually became famous and is now the state song of Kansas.^[2]

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.^[1]^[2]

The cabin site is 240 acres of range and cultivated land owned by Peoples Heartland Foundation. The cabin was restored in 2013 to its 1870s appearance.^[3]
