James Cant Ranch, 1918 Oregon


	James Cant Ranch, 1918 Oregon The James Cant Ranch is a pioneer ranch complex in Grant County in northeastern Oregon, United States. To accommodate their growing family, an expanding livestock business and their many guests, the Cants undertook a major expansion of the ranch between 1915 and 1918, replacing most of the original building. As part of this expansion, Cant built a large main house that became the centerpiece of the ranch complex. View of the main house in comments Have a Great Day Denny E. Barnes
	1918 James Cant Ranch House The National Park Service purchased 878 acres (3.55 km2) from the Cant family in 1975. This included the main ranch complex and adjacent ranch property along the John Day River. The National Park Service used the main house as a visitor center, museum, and office until the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center was built in 2003. The ranch complex is now used as an interpretive site, giving visitors the experience of an early 20th-century livestock operation. The main house and several of the other buildings are open to the public. Today, the Cant Ranch offers visitors the opportunity to experience eastern Oregon’s ranching heritage. Because the ranch played an important role in the commercial and social development of the John Day River Valley, the Cant Ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 21 June 1984. This historic district covers approximately 200 acres (0.81 km2) along both sides of the John Day River. There are eleven historic buildings on the property. Denny E. Barnes

Great still life in the first image and the house looks like the difference between the HAVES and the HAVE NOTS. Interesting history as well. WTG
