The Wild West!
OK, so it wasn't Buffalo Bill's ranch, it was the creators place! Nate Salsbury (1846-1902), who was basically the producer and owner of "Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show." William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) lived at the property for a short period of time and scratched his name and year on the wall of this super cool place.
I was able to take a photo of what remains of some of the writing but unfortunately, vandalism and time have taken their toll on this historically rich property and most of the writing has been tore down.
Thankfully vandalism and all the years that have passed cannot completely destroy this gorgeous ranch. Look at the quartz entryway, some of it has been taken out but most of if is still in place and looking as beautiful as ever! There’s some pink and some beautiful purple quartz at each of the two entrances of the property.
I have included some photos of what remains of what was once a corral or the stables as well. I love the contrast of the colors and construction materials used here.
Take a look at the inside of the ranch. It seems so small to me but it must have been considered spacious back in the 1900s. Nate Salsbury was not a poor man and this property was considered rather luxurious for a ranch during its time. Very well made. Can you imagine what all took place here?!
The stone ranch ruins are located near Dateland, Arizona.
Thank you so much for stopping by to look at these photos and to read this post.
THANK YOU!
