The Calgary Stampede is launching a brand new education program at a historic ranch near Longview.
The 8,000 acre, 130-year-old OH Ranch is opening its gates to groups looking to learn about working on a cattle ranch throughout history.
The OH Ranch is still focusing primarily on beef cattle production.
However, teachers will be able to take their students there on day trips to learn hands-on.
Among the historical buildings on the property are a re-built 1890 North West Mounted Police outpost, a homestead cabin, and group cookhouse.
