| HISTORY/HOSTS |
|---|
|
| Back in 1879, three brothers, Howard, Willis, and Alden established their horse and cattle ranch near Medora, ND and almost immediately friends from the East began to visit. Some stayed for months at a time in the early days. In 1882, one of the guests or "dudes", as the Eatons called them, recognizing the expense these extended visits entailed, prevailed upon the Eatons to charge for room and board so "folks could stay as long as they like". Thus the dude ranch business was born and an industry started. The Eatons' moved to the present location in 1904. Eatons' Ranch has always been in the hands of the Eaton family and operated as a dude and cattle ranch. The ranch is currently managed by the fourth and fifth generations of the family. |
