Bar B C Dude Ranch, distrikt historik në Shtetet e Bashkuara
The Bar B C Dude Ranch is a historic property near Moose in Wyoming, part of Grand Teton National Park, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The ranch grounds feature log buildings including cabins, a main lodge, a dining hall, and outbuildings built in rustic style that blend with the mountain forest setting.
The ranch was founded in 1912 by Struthers Burt and Dr. Horace Carncross to give city visitors a chance to experience outdoor life, particularly during World War I when European travel was limited. Burt later championed land protection around Jackson Hole and helped establish Grand Teton National Park to preserve the landscape from overdevelopment.
The founders named the ranch after their initials, and it became a model for other dude ranches in the area. Visitors can see today how the rustic architecture from logs and earth tones was deliberately designed to blend with the natural setting and give guests an authentic feeling of pioneer life.
Most buildings can be viewed from outside, with some restored structures accessible to give a sense of early construction methods and guest life. Visitors should note the property is within Grand Teton National Park and is best explored on foot, especially during warmer months when weather conditions are most favorable.
Founder and writer Struthers Burt documented his ranch experiences in a book that attracted thousands of wealthy guests from East Coast cities like Philadelphia. These early visitors often came for entire summers and formed a loyal community that returned year after year, making the ranch one of the most legendary outdoor vacation destinations of its era.
