Peaceful Valley Ranch is an approximately 60-acre developed area of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in western North Dakota. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 as significant for its association with establishment of the park and with local trends in open-range ranching, fee-simple ranching, and dude ranching. Contributing features include three buildings and cultural landscape resources that possess integrity to the period of significance of 1885 to 1959. The goal of this Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) is to support the long-term preservation and stewardship of the historic landscape of Peaceful Valley Ranch. The NPS commissioned the project team to complete the CLR for Peaceful Valley Ranch by preparing thorough baseline documentation, including site history and existing conditions, and by conducting a significance and integrity analysis. The team used this information to develop a conceptual treatment plan to provide guidance as the park moves forward with managing the ranch for flexible use. It includes guidance for long-term protection of character defining features, with an overall focus on a rehabilitation approach that supports compatible future use.
