"The Parrish Ranch was a working ranch, but in 1958 Vaughn decided to build a square dance barn in the lower pasture by the Little Thompson River. When those folks who took up square dancing in its heyday during the 50’s and 60’s started to retire, many of them acquired RVs and started motoring around the country. Vaughn built trailer hook-ups at the Ranch, and invited folks to come up and stay for a week or two. They held square dances and bar-b-ques just about every night. Then he built some little wooden Tee-Pees so folks who didn’t have an RV would have a place to stay (they’re humble, but adequate if you don’t plan to spend much time in them). And there are plenty of places to pitch a tent as well." -by Chris Kermiet
