<p>The Ranch is a wonderful place to explore history and nature</p>
<p><strong>Guided Tours:</strong><br />Our interpreters, in heritage costume, walk you through the Historic O&rsquo;Keefe Mansion. Built in 1886, the Mansion displays the original furnishings of the O&rsquo;Keefe family. The tour takes approximately 30 minutes.</p>
<p><strong>Self-guided Tours:</strong><br />Beside the Mansion is the old Carriage Shed, with its traditional buggies. And above the Carriage Shed is the stove museum. Over twenty antique, historic stoves are located in the museum, with a variety of different uses, from parlor stoves to cooking stoves.</p>
<p><strong>Heritage Walk:</strong><br />Take a stroll down the boardwalk; walk through the log house, the original dwelling of the O&rsquo;Keefe&rsquo;s, visit the General Store with its original Post Office and its pot-bellied stove. The Blacksmith shop, saddle shop and potter&rsquo;s barn are just down the way. At the end of the Boardwalk, the old St.Anne&rsquo;s Church is located, popular site of many modern weddings. The old cemetery is located directly beside the Church and is well worth a visit.</p>
<p><strong>Across the Creek:</strong><br />Across the bridge you&rsquo;ll find the original Schubert House, with it&rsquo;s traditional kitchen stove, and just to the right is the old Schoolhouse. The schoolhouse retains the old wood-burning furnace, and the old school desks.</p>
<p><strong>Antique Equipment:</strong><br />Our antique farming equipment is located &ldquo;up the hill&rdquo;. We have old hay-rakes, bailers, and farm tractors. The arena is located on the top of the hill, as is the implement shed, with its antique buggies and farm implements.</p>
<p><strong>Animals:&nbsp;</strong><br />Don&rsquo;t forget to visit our farm animals. These are a favorite attraction for kids. The Jacob Sheep, with their double sets of curved horns, are a rare breed and unique to see. The Ranch annually features cows and goats, as well as rabbits. Our bird pens are filled with exotic and domestic birds, from roosters to silkies, geese to turkeys.</p>
<p>The Ranch covers 53 acres. There&rsquo;s plenty of room to sit and enjoy the view and the great outdoors. Take you time, and visit this site that&rsquo;s a small slice of history.</p>
