  • Summary

  • The historic Empire Ranch has been a working cattle ranch for almost 150 years. Its rich history includes successive ownership by two prominent ranching families, two corporations, and finally by the federal government on behalf of the general public.

    Originally established in the 1860’s as a homestead ranch of 160 acres with a flat topped four-room adobe ranch house and adjoining adobe-walled corral and finally the BLM took over in 1988 with a commitment to preserve the historic Empire Ranch buildings and interpreting them for future generations.

    Television series like Bonanza were filmed at empire and movie stars like John Wayne and Barbara Streisand filmed movies here. Sit back and enjoy the story of Empire Ranch as told by Empire volunteers Rick and Marti.
