John Fenton Pratt had no idea when he started building his ranch that it would someday tell the story of his family and his native Yorkshire, England. Take a step into history as you tour the grounds of this relatively unchanged rural ranch. Exterior signs tell the story of the stained glass windows, Yorkshire architecture, and this unique sheep ranch. Operated in partnership with Friends of Cottonwood Ranch.
