Taylor
Ranch & Ovina Station:
The original store from the historic 10,000-acre ranch in Hall County
that became one of the nation's most important sheep feeding operations,
belonging originally to Robert Taylor. Taylor, considered the 'Sheep
King', owned thousands of acres across Nebraska, including land
in Hall County. Pick up a copy of "Sheep King" from Stuhr's
gift shop, 
In
its day the Taylor House was one of the showplaces of Hall County,
with nine bedrooms, three sitting rooms, a nursery, play room, large
dining room, office, large kitchen and pantry, and three baths,
it was considered a mansion. Among guests entertained at the ranch
were President Theodore Roosevelt, during his visit to Grand Island
in 1903. A 100-year celebration of this visit took place May 3,
2003 at Stuhr Museum.
