Pictures of the cabin, then and now, are below.

Shane is a 1953 American Technicolor Western film starring Alan Ladd, Jean Arthur, and Van Heflin. Released by Paramount Pictures.

The landscape they chose, mostly as a background, is the amazing Tetions of Wyoming.

The film is also hailed for its cinematography, editing, performances, and contributions to the genre.

The picture was produced and directed by George Stevens from a screenplay by A. B. Guthrie Jr.

The film was based on the 1949 novel of the same name by Jack Schaefer.

Its cinematography, by Loyal Griggs, won an Oscar.

In 1993, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

You can watch the movie trailer below.

It's been 75 years since we've seen that cabin in the movie.

So what does it look like today?

The roof is gone. So are the doors and windows.

What is left is just the walls and even they're sagging.

But the lot looks about the same and those Tetons in the background have only changed a little.

Below is what it looked like in the movie.

After that is a picture of what it looks like now.

What happened to the vine that was growing up the wall and on to the roof?

That chicken somebody put up there for this show died a long time ago.

The place was meant to look humble, but inviting.

It certainly achieved that.

This spot is located near Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole, Teton Range, and near Kelly in the Jackson Hole Valley.

Here is what the cabin looks like today.
