A Sense of Place: Seeing The Land Win
Our newest exhibition, A Sense of Place, invites visitors to explore the vivid history of the Imperial Stock Ranch in Oregon’s High Desert, from its founding in 1871 to today. Adapting to a multitude of changing factors and markets, the ranch became a global leader in sustainable farming and ranching, creating the highest quality merino wool products, and successfully scaling that effort with a new company, Shaniko Wool Company.
