Interpretive features at Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historical Site

Two tipi structures of poles arranged in a circle and attached at the top in a grassy area beside a set of interpretive markers.

The Development Zone (a component landscape) includes contemporary additions by the NPS, including the visitor contact station, archival storage building, and visitor parking. Most of the resources associated with this area do not contribute to the historical significance of the ranch, but provide views and interpretation of the site, natural and archaeological features, fences, and Johnson Creek. Due to the migratory subsistence patterns of native lifeways, Middle Plains Archaic sites (ca. 5,000-3,000 BP) have been identified within areas surrounding the park. Archaic peoples constructed conical shelters called lodges or tipi. Lodges were constructed against saplings or trees or constructed of poles and were covered with mat, brush, bark or animal skin.
