This was a great afternoon for us, but could likely be a full day if you wanted. There is a restaurant there which very reasonable priced ($15 a meal) and they give decent food with huge portions. Once you have been through the historical portion and had your history fix, you can go live your inner kid at the animal portion where you can pet the Donkey or goats etc. There are interactive pottery and blacksmiths shops that are working and sell some stuff for again, pretty darn cheap. There are also other buildings to explore as well as a big model railway for your inner-nerd.

We visited the historic ranch for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it! The beautifully preserved buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries with original furniture and decor take you back to another time in history. We loved the talented actors playing the parts of people that lived and worked on the ranch. They stayed in character as they explained their life on the ranch at the time. We especially enjoyed Osa the milkmaid. Nobody in our party could believe that she was acting as she played the character and interacted with us and our questions like she had been transported into the future. Very well done! It is our understanding that the actors are volunteers, generously donating their time for the enjoyment of the visitors.

We began our night at The Cattleman's Club Restaurant. The pork schnitzel was sooo delicious! My husband thoroughly enjoyed his roast beef dinner as well. The white sangria was delicious as wa the lemon meringue pie! LARGE portions, I think they were fattening us up so we could do some work on the ranch! I was VERY impressed with how the tables were set out in order to maintain social distancing. Well done during these Covid 19 times! The Cowboy Campfire was awesome. We had th chance to learn how to throw a Lariat, wander the property, go on a hayride and enjoy a campfire along with music, history and poetry. Very well done! Rob Dinwoodie and his fellow musicians are quite talented and I quite enjoyed both the original songs and classics. Ken Mather is quite the historian and I both learned from and enjoyed his stories of the cowboy! He also delivered some awesome poetry. Very talented group of gentlemen - thanks for an awesome night!
