Curriculum Materials

Local teachers working on lesson plans during Grant-Kohrs Ranch annual teacher workshop.
 

Grant-Kohrs Ranch began an educational outreach program in August 2002 to develop curriculum-based education products including lesson plans, traveling trunks, on-site educational activities, and an accredited annual teacher workshop. The materials developed are not only directed to state and park significance; but have national relevance as they teach about the open range cattle era in United States history.

Did You Know?

Historic image of cattle drive.

Cattle drives rarely went more than ten or twelve miles a day.  The cattle had to be given time to rest and graze.  A drive from Texas to Montana could take up to five months.  Kohrs bought two-year-old steers and brought them north to graze on the rich grasses of eastern Montana.
