Frontier House is the second of three public television productions designed to shed light on how technology impacts society by placing families into re-created historical environments where they may either succeed or fail in coping with the realities of the past. The first, 1900 House, explores Victorian society. The third, Colonial House, will explore the first eastern settlements. Frontier House purports to explore the western frontier. Set in Montana, near the old gold rush communities of Virginia City and Nevada City, Frontier House involves three families. Chosen from Massachusetts, Tennessee, and California out of some five thousand applicants, the families must build functional, self-sufficient homesteads. The year of their struggle for suvival is 1883. The story unfolds over approximately six hours of television.
