McCarthy/Pedersen Ranch
In 1892 John E. McCarthy, who came from Ireland, found 80 acres near Glacier he thought perfect for a farm. He applied for a homestead and received the patent, signed by President Grover Cleveland.  His dream came true, for he was now a farmer growing grain and raising horses, but it was not until 1903 that he built his home.  In 1907 Andrew Pederson bought the farm, built the new house, along with a granary, and raised chickens and dairy cows for 43 years. He increased the size of the farm to 91 acres.  In 1973 Gary Burt purchased the property, where he raised horses and dogs, and it is presently owned by Tom and Fran Towle.
