Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site
For Kids

There are many things for kids to do at the ranch. During the summer months we offer a variety of ranger programs for both adults and children.

Kids are also welcome to try on cowboy clothes, read cowboy stories, practice cowboy skills by roping Woody the wooden steer, try walking on stilts, and visit the horses, cows and chickens.

Don't forget to stop at the Visitor Center and ask about our Junior Rancher program.

Did You Know?
Cattle drives rarely went more than ten or twelve miles a day. The cattle had to be given time to rest and graze. A drive from Texas to Montana could take up to five months. Kohrs bought two-year-old steers and brought them north to graze on the rich grasses of eastern Montana.
