Vee Bar Ranch Lodge
Vee Bar Ranch Lodge, Historic ranch lodge in Laramie, United States
Description
Vee Bar Ranch Lodge is a cluster of structures in Wyoming combining a log-built main lodge with supporting historic buildings around the property. The site sits along Little Laramie River and includes an original corral and stock chute alongside cabin accommodations.
History
The lodge began in 1891 as a private residence and underwent expansion in the early 1900s under new ownership. Its recognition on the National Register in 1986 acknowledges its importance to early ranching development in the region.
Culture
The property functions as a working space where daily ranch routines around horses and cattle shape how visitors engage with the landscape. The arrangement of buildings between pastures and the river reflects how people historically organized their lives around livestock and land management.
Practical
Expect muddy conditions and uneven ground especially after rain, as the property spreads across pastures near the river. Plan activities around favorable weather and bring appropriate gear for outdoor pursuits in a mountain setting.
Did you know?
The property sits at the base of Snowy Range Mountains, combining river landscape with mountain views in a setting that was strategically chosen for both water access and natural protection. This geographic position shaped how the ranch functioned and why it remained an important working operation over generations.
