The Sod House, which is also known as Marshall McCully Sod House, is a sod house built in 1894. It is located in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma approximately four miles north of Cleo Springs, Oklahoma.[2][3]

History

The Sod House was built by Marshal McCully in 1894.[3] Sod houses were constructed by settlers of southern and western Oklahoma Territory because there was not enough timber to build wooden houses.[4] The sod house near Cleo Springs is the only remaining sod house in Oklahoma that was built by settlers.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1] The Sod House Museum (under the Oklahoma Historical Society) maintains the structure.[3]
