The Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site, once the headquarters of a cattle empire spanning 10 million acres, is a symbol of the early days of the open-range cattle industry. Established by John Grant in 1862 and operated by Conrad Kohrs from 1866 to 1920, the ranch highlights the contributions cattlemen made in the American West. Today, the working ranch sits on 1,618 acres at the edge of the town of Deer Lodge and offers a variety of attractions for visitors, including livestock observation and self-guided tours of nearly 100 historic structures.
