About Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park

The Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park in Carson Valley preserves the story of a ranching family that grew from a small log cabin into one of western Nevada's large operations. Visitors can walk the open grounds for recreation and photography, or view part of the ranch house on select open house days, where volunteer docents answer questions. Private guided tours of the house can be booked by phone. The site also holds the ranch house, stone cellar, laundry house, and carriage house, along with family artifacts, photographs, and documents spanning many decades.
