Snake River Ranch, Historic cattle ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Snake River Ranch is a historic cattle property near Teton Village in Wyoming, built on land that once formed two separate homesteads. The grounds hold several groups of buildings spread across the terrain, each serving a different purpose, from livestock operations to housing and equipment storage.
The property took shape in 1929 when a New York advertising executive and his wife bought the land and merged two existing homesteads into one operation. Over the decades that followed, it grew into the largest privately held ranch in the Jackson Hole valley.
The ranch showcases traditional cattle raising practices that shaped life in Jackson Hole for generations. Visitors walking the property encounter the working methods that define ranching culture in the region.
Group visits need to be arranged in advance and are generally suited to parties of 25 or more. A visit gives a real sense of how a working cattle operation runs through the different seasons of the year.
One of the buildings on the grounds is considered the first work that German modernist Ludwig Mies van der Rohe completed in the United States. This 1930s dining room stands quietly on the property, and most visitors walk past it without knowing what it represents in architectural history.
