Cottonwood Ranch State Historic Site

nn
  The Cottonwood Ranch house is constructed of native stone in a style typical of Yorkshire, England where the builder, Fenton Pratt, was born. He and his wife, Jennie, raised two daughters on the ranch. The elder daughter, Hilda, spent her most of her life, from 1889 to 1978, living in this house. She saved everything and changed very little, leaving a treasure trove of records and photographs.

  The house is accessible. Informative signs about the family and the ranch are located on the grounds. Wheelchair users may need to have help navigating through the grass to see the signs and outbuildings.

   The driveway makes a loop. RVs can be parked along the edge in the grass. Ranch
