Come watch us grow.

Phase I, the clean up and re-fencing of the ranch, has been completed.

We are now entering Phase II, the rehab of  buildings for the "Trail's End Stage Stop," to be completed by Oct. 1, '07, and the  Class "A" Auction House and Barn to be finished by Dec. 15.  These new facilities will accommodate the sale of anything from Fine Art and Jewelry and Amish Arts, Crafts and Furniture, to farm auctions for livestock and critters and specialty auctions for estate items, real estate and consignments.  Also included is rebuilding the ranch's cross fence, the Auction Oval Track (to show horses before sales),  the outdoor horse arena, a reception area and gift shop.  

Phase III will be the rehab of smaller buildings on the ranch for the sale of ranch-raised produce from our own garden, cheeses, ice cream and popcorn, homemade candy, jelly and jams as well as Amish arts & crafts, Ranch arts & crafts, furniture, etc.  This work, completion of the five Western Paint Ball Courses and reworking some of the wagon roads and horse trails should be done by early spring '08.

Phase IV may be the construction of a Log Lodge for overnight guests who want to spend several days at the ranch or tour the local area.  If this lodge is constructed it will be in '09.

When the M & M Ranch is completed it will be reminiscent of an 1800's frontier town that could be found in western Wisconsin at the time.  Remember, that was the West then, along with places like Kansas City, Sedalia, Independence and St. Joe, MO, Sioux City, IA, Prairie du Chein and La Crosse, WI.  These were the starting points for trails that later led to towns like Dodge City, KS, Alliance and Norfolk, NE, Dead Wood, SD and St. Paul, MN.

That was the West we read about with outlaws such as the James brothers, the Younger brothers and others.  Those men moved there to live and hide in the wilderness.  Most lands to the west of Wisconsin at the time were considered Indian Territory and wilderness.

So step back in time at the M & M Ranch & Outfitters and enjoy a Day in the Old West and a Day in the Country.
