History of Booker's Dude Ranch

Welcome to Booker’s Dude Ranch, a historic property where the spirit of horses still lingers. Once a vibrant horse ranch, it was home to Tennessee Walkers, Missouri Fox Trotters, and Quarter Horses, creating unforgettable memories. Imagine waking up to gentle horse gazing through your window, eagerly awaiting a treat. With roots connected to my grandfather, Booker T. Washington, a proud US Army Veteran, this ranch carries a legacy of love and adventure.
