Fur Peace Ranch, Guitar education center in Meigs County, Ohio, United States.
Fur Peace Ranch is a guitar education center located on rural land in Meigs County, spanning 126 acres with dedicated spaces for instruction, performances, and participant accommodations. The property combines learning areas with residential and performance venues to create an integrated music experience.
The center was established in 1998 after Jorma and Vanessa Kaukonen secured funding and transformed an original idea from a 1991 camping trip into reality. The ranch evolved from that initial vision into an established music education facility.
The ranch broadcasts performances through the radio show 'Live From Jorma Kaukonen's Fur Peace Ranch' on WOUB and PRX stations, reaching audiences across the country. These broadcasts bring the music culture of the place into homes far away.
Guitar students of all levels can attend weekend workshops focused on different guitar styles, with instruction from experienced musicians. Visitors should plan to stay on-site, as the location includes lodging and meal facilities.
The property includes a fully equipped kitchen where workshop participants prepare and share meals together. These shared cooking experiences create deeper connections between students who learn music and build friendships side by side.
