1918 James Cant Ranch House
Uploaded: November 10, 2010
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.
