How to Find Homesteading Land

The days of the Wild West are over, but if you know how to find homesteading land, you can still own your own land for little to no cost.
When you first hear the word homestead, you probably think of the Wild West. Most people associate the word with the Homestead Act of 1862, a land program that gave potential farmers 160 acres of free lots as long as they were willing to work and live on the land.

While the offer of 160 acres of free land has long since passed, if you know how to find homestead land, you can still come out with a small farm or ranch setup, even today.
