On this episode of the Rural Revival podcast we’re with Jaye Wells of True Ranch Collection based out of Tuscon, Arizona. Jaye and his crew are doing some incredible work with historic ranch properties in the west and have most recently created a concept called a pop-up dude ranch. It all started last summer at the historic OTO Ranch in Montana, just north of Yellowstone, and it’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen.
Jaye has also had a career as a preservation architect and his perspective is one you will all appreciate. Now he’s combining his background in preservation architecture and hospitality with ranching, and today he’s sharing why it’s so important to save these places and preserve this authentic lifestyle of dude ranching, all while providing an unforgettable experience in the west.
You’ll be inspired by Jaye’s efforts to save and steward these important pieces of western history and the lifestyle that surrounds them, and you’ll appreciate the perspective he shared on historic preservation. Check out the blog and show notes to see some incredible pictures of the OTO and the Pop Up Ranch experience, go give them a follow, and be sure to book your stay soon if you want to experience this for yourself!
