This is the plaque on the Eve Bowring Visitor Center. There's plenty to see inside. 


Inside the Visitor Center, there are showcases which depict the life of Eve Bowring, above, and her husband Arthur, below. They were both very generous people. 



Park Superintendent, Diane Burress will share with you how the ranch came to be, the lives of the Bowrings along with their careers. Diane is pictured in front of a snowy mural painted inside the Visitor Center.
