Grant-Kohrs
Ranch -
Once a 10-million acre cattle empire, changing times and the shrinking of
the cattle industry steadily reduced this icon of the Old West. Now a
National Historic Site, the ranch still encompasses 1,500 acres and is
very much a working ranch. One big difference: you can come and take a
tour and see what a real ranch looks like, talk to the people who run it
and attain a better understanding of this rugged lifestyle.
The ranch is open daily - except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Years Days. Turing the summer season (Memorial Day weekend through Labor
Day weekend) hours are 8a to 5:30p. The rest of the year the hours are 9a
to 4:30p. Admission is FREE.
For more information phone the Visitors' Center at 1-406-846-2070
ext. 250 - or visit the NPS website at
