Overview

About

If you've got a hankering for cowboy culture, this meticulously preserved cattle ranch in Montana is a must-see. This site was once the headquarters of a 10-million-acre cattle empire. Today, it's a nostalgic tribute to some of the most iconic symbols of the American West.

Celebrate the role of cattlemen in American history at this sprawling property. It still functions as a year-round working ranch. Get a hands-on feel for life on the open range with campfires and chuckwagons. Pick up a self-guided brochure at the visitor's center to explore the ranch on your own. Meander through the bunkhouse, blacksmith's shop, granary, and other historic outbuildings. Don't miss the collection of historic wagons and buggies in the Thoroughbred Barn.

Seasonal ranger-led programs include chuckwagon programs, cowboy talks, and blacksmith demos. Kids will enjoy special Junior Rancher and Junior Ranger activities along with roping lessons and visits with the livestock.

Take a guided tour of the main ranch house any time of year. The free tickets go fast in the summer months. All of the original furnishings and personal items that belonged to the Grant and Kohrs families are on display. See how the true pioneers lived and worked back in the 1860s.

Leave some time to explore the ranch's seven miles of easy walking trails. Follow the nature trail along Cottonwood Creek to the Clark Fork River to see the lush grassland habitat. Follow the old Milwaukee Railroad right-of-way to a swampy area that's home to aquatic birds. Or, maybe just cruise out to the far pastures to visit with the main herd of cattle grazing in the grasses, just as they did centuries ago.
