History and description of the outbuildings at Tallgrass Prairie NPres
Tour Stop 3: The Outbuildings
The tin roofed buildings were built after 1900. These were used as workshops and to store vehicles and equipment based on the needs of the ranch.
The building with the white front and double doors has been converted for modern usage while still retaining some of its original exterior features. According to local historic newspapers, a blacksmith shop and a carpentry shop were utilized by Mr. Jones somewhere at the ranch site.
