A Little Piece of Osage Co. History

This is the old Chapman & Barnard Ranch bunkhouse that was built in the early 1920's.

Maybe this was what it looked like back in the '20's, though they probably had barb-wire fence
instead of pipe.
How 'bout that big ol' porch? Lets have a closer look. The old bell stands ready to greet you be the gate.

But it could be used to call in the cowboys for dinner, from the barn that set's to the east of the Bunkhouse.

Here's a look at the cowboys who used to work here (and yes this is the Real Deal, no Paint Shop used!!)

See this Ol' Cowboy? Know who he is? That's my Great, Great Grandad, Ben Johnson Sr.! He used to work here and was the Ranch Foreman.

So there's your Osage Co. history lesson for today

Thanks for lookin' and Class Dismissed!!!

P.S. Long Live Cowboys & Cowgirls!!!
