Ranch Day is a living history,
educational event begun in 1970 at the National Ranching Heritage
Center. More than 100 Ranch Hosts and special event participants
recreate authentic settings reflective of ranching from the 1780s to
the present.
Admission to the day’s events is free, but donations are strongly
encouraged. A hamburger lunch will be available at a small price.
