History

The Dangberg Ranch was founded in 1857 by Heinrich Friedrich Dangberg, Sr. Starting with just a log cabin it became one of Carson Valley's first ranches. Forty years later the ranch had grown to 20,000 acres (8,100 ha) making it one of the largest ranches in the region, which in turn was doubled in size by Heinrich Friedrich Dangberg, Jr.[3]

Park

Some 5 acres (2.0 ha) of the land is under the ownership of Douglas County and managed by the state park service. The county and state are in a joint effort to restore the historic buildings including the 15-room main residence.[2] The park's buildings feature historic period artifacts.

The ranch is located on Nevada State Route 88 west of Minden. Tours are available from spring to fall.
