Cottonwood Ranch State Historical Site

Location: 17 miles west of Hill City. Operated by the Kansas State Historical Society, this site consists of a late nineteenth century sheep ranch. The native stone house (constructed 1885-1896) and outbuildings (built 1891-1892) symbolize English settlement and ranching on the High Plains of the Northwest Region of Kansas. The Pratt family maintained elements of their British heritage in the construction of the buildings and in their daily activities. Exhibits include historic photographs within the partially furnished house. Guided tours of the site and programming on various historic topics are available. Self-guided tours are also available.
