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
Dear Julie, I absolutely love your website and am intrigued throughout all of the goodies you so graciously display here within. There is one picture of a very tall building that apparently is part of an abandoned city in Arizona that I find most compelling, and it was that picture that first drew me to your amazing site in the first place thankfully... It is backed up by other buildings that are equally tall, if not taller, but it is over 10 stories tall. Would you be so kind as to tell me where that is?
ReplyDeleteTrying to see how I could attach your own picture here to show you which one I’m referring to, but... Anyway, I would really appreciate it, and thanks for all you do!
