The Stone Cabin Ranch sits just north of the small historic town of Fort Laramie, in Goshen County, where the Laramie and North Platte Rivers converge in Southeast Wyoming. The area is rich in history, with the Fort playing a key and vital role in the United States western expansion. Native Americans, trappers, traders, missionaries, emigrants, soldiers, miners and ranchers all left their mark on the famous history of the American West!

The Ranch has good grass on gentle and rolling hills with tight fences and ample water from 3 wells and 2 stock tanks that make for big fat cows!

History

Fort Laramie was originally established as a fur trading post in 1834 and evolved into the largest and best-known military post on the Northern Plains! The Fort witnessed the entire saga of western expansion thru the homesteaders and their establishment and use of the Oregon, Mormon and California Trails and the Native American resistance to the encroachment into their territories.

Location

The Ranch is about an hour and a half to the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne and about the same to the state's regional hub in Casper, and the University of Wyoming in Laramie. All cities offer convenient air travel and their own respective amenities. The hustle and bustle of the Colorado Front Range, and all it has to offer is just a couple of hours to the south. The Stone Cabin Ranch is an opportunity to have a piece of the vanishing last frontier in the Great State of Wyoming!
