Sheyenne River Valley Scenic Byway
Slattum Cabin, ND

Theodore P. Slattum was one of the largest landowners in Ransom County. He immigrated to Minnesota from Norway in 1870, then moved here in 1879. His family lived in a dugout until he could build a more permanent home. Seven children were raised in the cabin with two children dying in early childhood. In 1945 the cabin was moved to Fort Ransom Historic Site, where it remained for over 55 years until being moved back to its original location.
