Earnest Ranch

Garfield County

A well-preserved log bungalow and a large balloon frame barn are among ranch structures constructed between 1919 and 1926 by members of the Earnest family that remain on the property.

In spite of development in the surrounding area, the ranch’s setting remains largely intact, and the property is able to convey its significance as a pre-World War II agricultural landscape.
