Where Art Meets Western History<\/h2>\n

The Brinton Museum, located on the 620-acre historic Quarter Circle A Ranch in Big Horn, just a short drive from Sheridan, offers an authentic view into the life and lifestyle of a Western gentleman and art collector who was a patron and friend of many of the most celebrated 19th and 20th- century Western artists.<\/p>\n

The setting is superb; the Brinton is set in the shadow of the Bighorn Mountains along the Little Goose Creek and surrounded by immaculate grounds, gardens and trees. Several remarkable and well-preserved outbuildings are spaced around the grounds, including a carriage barn, saddle barn, milk house and the rustic Little Goose Creek Lodge, built in 1928 as a retreat and to accommodate the numerous trophies from his hunting trips and safaris.<\/p>\n

What to See and Do<\/h2>\n

Forrest E., Mars, Jr. Building<\/h3>\n

The Brinton Museum opened its new state-of-the-art Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building on June 15, 2015. The 24,000-square-foot $15.8-million, eco-conscious building showcases one of the most significant Western and American Indian Art collections in the Rocky Mountain West including Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, Edward Borein and Winold Reiss, along with the world’s largest Hans Kleiber collection.<\/p>\n

The Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building design aligns with the natural geography of the ranch. Nestled into the hillside, it is anchored by a two-foot thick, 51-foot high, 209-foot long arced rammed earth wall, the tallest in North America. The design symbolically defines the space, bringing together the geological and spiritual nature of its Western and American Indian Art collections.<\/p>\n

Ranch House and Gr0unds<\/h3>\n

The Brinton Ranch house, originally built in 1892, was expanded in 1927-28 to accommodate the Brinton\u2019s extensive collections of Indian artifacts, art, historic documents, books and over 600 oils, watercolors and sketches by American artists including: Audobon, Borein, Gollings, Kleiber, Remington and Russell, to name a few.<\/p>\n
