Below are recent photos of the Anderson Homestead.  The original house was built about 1911 by Victor and his son Lawrence.  It is now the home of Dwayne and Chaurisse Anderson.  Dwayne is the fourth generation Anderson to live in the house

In July Dwight Johnson took a motorcycle road trip with some of his Wheaton College buddies, and they included an overnight at the Anderson Homestead, north of Pine Bluffs, Wyoming.  Here are some photos he took.  Captions on the photos are from Dwight with one additional note added by the editor.
FYI, Dwight is a great grandson of Victor and Hannah.  His father is Gilbert Johnson, who is the son of Ruth Anderson Johnson, the oldest child of Victor and Hannah.
