Tour Stop 6: The Carriage House
Like a modern garage, this building was made to house a carriage or buggy. However, this carriage house was constructed after the Jones' occupancy during the 1920s, during the Benninghoven ownership. It is known that Court Benninghoven used this building to store his Farmall tractor. Today, it is used for storage.
In 1994 when the National Park Trust purchased the property, a buggy was found in the barn. Oral histories state that this buggy was intentionally dismantled by the ranchhands before the Z Bar ranch auction in February 1986. After the sale, it was reassembled and is now on display in the Ranch Barn.
