Peaceful Valley Ranch
Peaceful Valley Ranch, Historical ranch in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota, US
The one-and-a-half-story Victorian frame building features a central structure with surrounding porches and a rear log extension along the Little Missouri River.
Benjamin Lamb purchased the land in 1885, constructing the initial buildings that would become a central part of the Roosevelt Recreation Demonstration Area.
The Olsen family transformed the ranch into a tourist destination in 1915, offering guided horseback rides and outdoor activities in the North Dakota badlands.
Located 3 miles from Medora, the ranch provides interpretive information, parking facilities, picnic tables, restrooms, and opportunities for photography.
The ranch remains the only original ranch house in the park's South Unit, maintaining its Victorian architectural elements among predominantly log structures.
