A Historic Property with Deep Roots in American History This very special property has visible links to the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, the Civil War, and the region’s early coal mining history. A natural spring on the land was once used by the Pony Express, as well as travelers on the pioneer trails and even during the Civil War. The property sits on what were once the banks of the Missouri River, perched on a bluff that offers incredible sunsets and wide-open night skies. Today, it’s a small working farm with chickens, goats, and a massive turkey named “Tank” who proudly answers to his name. There’s so much to see here — from rich history and wild open spaces to the nearby river and passing trains.

Black Sheep Bluff

20. Black Sheep Bluff

23mi from Lake Lotawana · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
A Historic Property with Deep Roots in American History This very special property has visible links to the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, the Civil War, and the region’s early coal mining history. A natural spring on the land was once used by the Pony Express, as well as travelers on the pioneer trails and even during the Civil War. The property sits on what were once the banks of the Missouri River, perched on a bluff that offers incredible sunsets and wide-open night skies. Today, it’s a small working farm with chickens, goats, and a massive turkey named “Tank” who proudly answers to his name. There’s so much to see here — from rich history and wild open spaces to the nearby river and passing trains.
