The Historic Hilger Homestead is a remarkable property located in Helena, Montana, that dates back to the late 19th century. The homestead was established in 1882 by German immigrant Jacob Hilger and his wife, Emma, who came to Montana to start a new life. The property is situated on 5.5 acres of land and includes several historic buildings, including a barn, a granary, a root cellar, a chicken coop, and the main house.

The main house is a two-story, wood-framed structure with a distinctive gabled roof and large wrap-around porch. It was constructed in 1892 and features a mix of Victorian and Craftsman architectural styles. The interior of the house is furnished with authentic period pieces, including furniture, clothing, and household items, providing visitors with a glimpse into life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Hilger Homestead was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and it has been carefully preserved and restored over the years. Today, the property is open to the public and serves as a museum, offering tours, educational programs, and special events throughout the year. The homestead is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike who are interested in Montana's rich history and heritage.
