Historic and Cultural Preservation
Ranch personnel are working with local museum partners to identify and restore critical historic structures on the ranch and catalog their significance. North Dry Fork Valley alone was home to some 18 homesteader families, and an effort to collect the stories and memories of still-living pioneers is also underway. The red-roofed, one-room schoolhouse that marks the entry to The High Lonesome Ranch headquarters, will house a small museum that will showcase this important history. The museum will also tell the ongoing story of the natural history of the ranch and its science and conservation efforts.
