John Slaughter Ranch

Wonderfully maintained piece of history. Self guided tour with plenty of information to fully appreciate the experience. Take your time and have fun checking out all the little details within the buildings and around the grounds. Definitely worth the scenic journey to get there, enjoy the views!

Super cool piece of preserved history. Had the whole place to ourselves in the middle of no where. Amazing. The ranch has a natural spring and is super lush, green, and has a huge pond. The lady at the front office was very nice and informative.

Beautiful ranch in a desert setting. History, artisan ponds, large cottonwoods, picnic area. Hosts extremely friendly and helpful.

Surprised no one has reviewed this yet! Cool, historic ranch. Was also a civil war post. We photographed a Blue Mockingbird here, first sighting north of the border. My friend, while sitting on one of the park benches, was "visited" by a ghost soldier! Yes, the place IS haunted!

Just wanted everyone to know that my husband and I are the new Slaughter Ranch managers, as of April 2015, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to share this lovely piece of history with as many people as possible! We hope to make your visit as nice as possible, so please don't hesitate to come on out and see the Ranch! We are open Wed-Sun 9:30 to 3:30.

Attempt to determine whether the ranch will be open to visitors. The posted times seem to be irrelevant to reality. When it's open, the ranch takes you back to a different time,

Not worth the drive. The couple running the place were off-putting, there's not much to see, and nothing to do but turn around and go back the way you came.
