grant-kohrs ranch national historic site印象
-
This is a preserved working ranch with displays and exhibits of the open range and ranch life of the late 1800s. We didn't have enough time here to see everything but the displays and demonstrations we did see were very good. We especially liked the chuck wagon cook's demonstration. He even made us coffee. The mosquitoes were very bad when we were there so you might want to bring some bug repellent. If you are travelling along I-90, this National Park site is definitely worth a stop. Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time.

This historic ranch has a guided tour of the house, and plenty of grounds to explore. Lots to learn of the history of ranching in the west. Great views. It does not have many visitors, so we had lots of time to talk to staff. Very interesting and FREE!

We needed a break from driving and I am glad we stopped here. Very interesting place to visit to learn about history and cowboys. We loved the talk from the "cook". He was so friendly and entertaining and took lots of time to talk to my kids about their questions. He was the highlight of our tour. Coffee sample was excellent. The Cook made me say it! :)

We found this National Park site excellent. Their goal is to explain the significance of the open range period in American history. They do this and more. The exhibits were complete and each one had a nice complete explanation about it. There were several people in specialized areas giving demonstrations: there was a cook at the chuck wagon who actually served cowboy coffee, the blacksmith was in his forge, we met a cowgirl with her horse who talked about women on ranches and there was someone to explain the hay baler. It is a working farm and you can walk into the chicken coop, can pat the draft horses on the head and see other ranch operations. We took the tour of the house, a Victorian mansion out on the range. A very worthwhile visit.

Only thing wrong is the address on the flyer is wrong, you need just go a bit further and you will see their sign. Be sure you see the house it was great, but enjoyed the whole Ranch.

We really liked the ranch house, preserved so well. We also enjoy walking around the ranch and exploring the hills, gets pretty muddy in the winter though, so wear your mucks.

This site is 100% accurate in portraying the open range era of this nation. Authentic gear, buildings. Haying with traditional equipment, calf branding and a guided tour of the original ranch house from 1862. A wonderful lesson in this nations cowboy history without any Hollywood hype.

This is a very fun free national historic site. We didn't get a chance to tour the main house but saw most of the grounds. There are self guided exhibits in many of the buildings explaining cowboy and ranch life. We got to try some cowboy coffee at the chunk wagon. On Sunday we got a wagon ride around the property which was helpful in seeing a ton more ground. The entire day was free. This was an excelle .nt attraction to see an example of early ranching in Montana.

Grant-Kohrs Ranch is a preserved Montana Ranch of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its a little hard to find as my GPS had difficulty but well worth the time. The volunteers and rangers were very knowledgeable and the tour of the farm house was great. Later we went out to the blacksmith shop and learned about branding cattle. The barn has a great collection of carriages from the time period. The bunk house and other preserved buildings gave a real picture of the time period.

We called in, not sure what to expect. We were welcomed into the little visitor centre and watched the film about the ranch, then were given a map to self-guide around the buildings and site. There was a large school party in, so we couldn't visit the house, but the upside was that there were several re-enactors giving some living history sessions that we were welcome to join.So we sat with the children and listened to the cook's tales and tried his (bitter!) coffee, we saw the lady blacksmith doing her stuff (including a very dodgy Cockney accent ! ;-) ) and a young lass riding the horses.It was all really interesting, low key and relaxed and we enjoyed it very much. Really glad we made the stop!
