Review:
Bowring Ranch State Historical Park is a state park three miles north of Merriman in Cherry County that celebrates and interprets the ranching heritage of the Sand Hills region. The 7,202-acre ranch was once owned by former U.S. Senator Eve Bowring, who managed the ranch until her death in 1985. Today, the farm has been preserved as turn-of-the-20th-century working Hereford cattle ranch and living history museum. The park features a visitor’s center that documents the Bowrings' lives and exhibits artifacts and memorabilia of early ranching days, the ranch house, outbuildings, corrals, barns, bunkhouses, and a sod house, all of which are open to the public.
