26 Bar Ranch (John Wayne Ranch)
Immersed in the Hereford’s history in Eagar, AZ, sits the 26 Bar Ranch. It was first known as the Milky Way Ranch in the 1940’s with its big white show barn which housed many Hereford cattle. The barn is now a local landmark. In 1964 the ranch became the 26 Bar Ranch or John Wayne’s Ranch, who was one of the owners. Wayne, along with Ken Reafsnyder and Louis Johnson, his business partners, kept the ranch until John Wayne’s death in 1979 from lung and stomach cancer. Lately, I have heard rumors that Bigfoot has been seen near the ranch. I don’t know if that is true or not, but it would be worth checking out. John Wayne and Louis Johnson
Isn't it surreal to think about all the famous people and history on one street? Standing there, did you feel any of that history or sense any of the spirits?
ReplyDeleteYou feel many spirits of those famous and no-so famous who used to walk the streets. Lots of history in that small town.
DeleteWow. With all of the people killed there, I bet the presence one feels as they walk down the street is just unreal.
ReplyDeleteIt is unreal. I love the history of Tombstone and all the people who used to walk those streets.
