It was first settled in 1855 and features a farmhouse built in 1870 and a barn from around the same time.

The Aage and Kirstine Larsen Homestead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. It was deemed significant as a well-preserved example of an early twentieth-century Sheridan County homestead which achieved a measure of success and permanence. The Larsens were among the thousands of settlers who arrived in Sheridan County during the first two decades of the twentieth century, and the homestead they established was initially typical of hundreds of such farms operated during the county's early years of settlement. Most of these early homesteads were either abandoned or merged into larger farm operations, in either case leaving relatively few physical remains. The relative economic success achieved by the Larsens, however, allowed them to expand their farm holdings and increase the number and size of the farm's buildings, resulting in the building complex which survives today.
