Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits, Shelter/Cabin

Known as the "Little House," this cabin housed the ranch manager. Like the Bond Cabin, cooking was primarily done outdoors until the Dunigan family remodeled in the 1980s. In both cabins, the additions can be easily recognized because they used vertical board/batten framing instead of horizontal logs. This cabin had continual ranch management use from 1918 up until the early 2000s. It was featured in the show Longmire

Conocida como la Casita, esta cabaña albergaba al administrador del rancho. Al igual que la cabaña Bond, se cocinaba principalmente al aire libre hasta que la familia Dunigan la remodeló en la década de 1980. En ambas cabañas, las adiciones pueden reconocerse fácilmente porque utilizaron entramado vertical de tablas y listones en lugar de troncos horizontales. Esta cabaña fue utilizada continuamente por la dirección del rancho desde 1918 hasta principios de la década de 2000. Apareció en la serie Longmire.
