White Grass Stories from the National Trust for Historic Preservation Web Site - Downloaded May 2014
White Grass Stories from the National Trust for Historic Preservation Web Site - Downloaded May 2014 “Share Your Story” The entries below are from a web site established by the National Trust for Historical Preservation as a supplement to its fund raising efforts to support the rehabilitation work at the historic White Grass Ranch, Grand Teton National Park, Moose, Wyoming. Called “Share Your Story,” former dudes, wranglers and special friends of the dude ranch era (1913-1985) were invited to enter a story/post a story on the Trust’s web site. The site was taken down in 2014 after the Trust closed its fundraising efforts having met its goal of over $970,000. Through an agreement with the National Trust, the White Grass Heritage Project is able to archive and republish those stories, and preserve an important part of White Grass Ranch history. NOTE: When the individual stories below were first posted on the National Trust’s web site, some posting dates were inaccurate due to a computer glitch. Information contained in “White Grass Ranch: A Compilation of Stories from the National Trust for Historic Preservation Website and More, 2014” created by Rachel Terhune was used to correct noted inaccuracies. Terhune’s booklet is archived in the Grand Teton National Park and the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum in Jackson, Wyoming Edited by Roger Butterbaugh, Seasonal Caretaker at White Grass Ranch/National Park Service Volunteer; Coordinator of the White Grass Heritage Project which aims to collect oral histories, historical photos, artifacts and more for archival purposes at the Grand Teton National Park and the Jackson Hole Historical Society and Museum -- March 25, 2016. -

The ranch is an important vernacular cultural landscape as the third dude ranch established in what is now Grand Teton National Park. Harold Hammond, a westerner, began to develop the ranch in 1913, when he filed a 160-acre homestead within the boundary of the Teton National Forest. Between 1913 and 1923, he and his partner, George Tucker Bispham, a transplant from Philadelphia, made improvements to their adjacent homestead claims, receiving their patents in 1920 and 1923 respectively. By 1919, or possibly earlier, they had begun accepting paying guests to their ranches, accommodating them in three log houses. The first two decades of the ranch operation were supplemented through other endeavors, including a silver fox farm. Between 1923 and 1928, Hammond and Bispham deeded their claims to Bar BC Ranches, Inc., a partnership consisting of themselves, Struthers Burt and Horace Carncross (founders of the Bar BC Ranch), and Irving Corse and Sinclair Armstrong. -

The crew started the year with two projects in the Southwest. While snow was heavy on the ground in Grand Teton, they traveled to the Grand Canyon to work on the Tusayan Museum, then to Santa Fe to work on the Old Santa Fe Trail building, which currently serves as the regional NPS office building. The summer was filled with projects in Grand Teton, including a major roof preservation and replacement project at the historic Snake River Land Co. Office and Residence, and continued work at the WCHP White Grass Dude Ranch campus. In addition to completing several projects, the WCHP also participated in and lead several volunteer projects and training projects in 2010. Both the Tusayan Museum project in the Grand Canyon and the Old Santa Fe Trail building project in Santa Fe were completed with participation from PAST program participants. From hosting local students to volunteering with HistoriCorps, the short summer season in Jackson was a great success. 2010 WCHP Staff Western Center for Historic Preservation 2010 Annual Report | 4 White Grass Dude Ranch Progress Report The White Grass Dude Ranch is currently being rehabilitated by the WCHP for use as their summer campus and training center. -
