"The guide was excellent. Knew a lot of history of the whole area not just the ranch. New visitor center under construction when we visited, Will be much better when it is completed. Historic buildings were in good shape, Enjoy learning about the history of local ranchers."
"This was an absolutely amazing experience. I had 7 children from 9 to (2)17 yr old twins. We had such a fun adventure. The scenery is so beautiful. We will be returning."
"An amazing place to visit. A great part of history to be able to learn about. The individual at this site was extremely knowledgeable about the history of this site and of Browns Park. Wish there was more places like this around this part of the country. Will bring the kids next time."
"This is an awesome spot to soak in some of that old west history. They have so much awesome historical sites and antiques. They even have a little mock butch Cassidy dugout. A ton of history here and a great spot to check out. Defiantly come at the right times though. The lady now that is running it seems to close everything at random times and not the friendliest. Overall just the location of this site makes it worth it. Defiantly a piece of history to not forget."
