You will experience early living with a self guided tour.  Many buildings still exist and are open for you to walk through. There is a large picnic area to the south of the ranch and is a great place to eat lunch.

This ranch is technically called the Fielding Garr Ranch, named after the man who settled here.

From the parking lot there is a path that leads you to the east towards a large white building.  Keep going and you will be in a courtyard where if you look to the north, you will see a large barn type building with a sign that says “Begin Here”.  Start the tour here and read about the interesting lifestyle that started over a hundred years ago at the ranch.

You are welcome to wander around the area and there is a lot to see.  There is a barn filled with tools and artifacts of early living.  You will see a modern home, cellar and even a small house that was built over a spring.

If you head north past the barn, you will see a tall grain elevator.  Keep going and you will most likely find horses tied up waiting for visitors to ride them.  You are able to go on a guided tour of the ranch with the horses but that costs extra.

There is a building with a bubbling spring inside of it.  Although the water is murky and dirty, the settlers used these springs for their ranch.

I really enjoyed walking around in early spring with the grass an almost neon green color.  It was quiet and peaceful and it makes you feel like you were transported to the pioneer days.
