ABOUT GHOST RANCH:

Ghost Ranch is a 21,000 acre retreat and education center in North Central New Mexico. The area was first inhabited by two cattle rustling brothers (the Archuletas) who used the valley to hide stolen cows. After one brother was murdered by the other, a group of local men came to the ranch and hung the remaining brother and his gang.

Fast forward to 1928, a man named Roy Pfaffle won the deed to the ranch in a poker game. His enterprising wife, Carol Stanley, recorded the deed in her name, divorced Pfaffle and moved in. She constructed the guest quarters and created an exclusive dude ranch that was visited by many of the wealthy and creative people of the time. She also gave the property it’s name – Ghost Ranch.

Georgia O’Keeffe was one of many 20th century artists drawn to Ghost Ranch. She split much of her time between New Mexico and New York, and you can see the influence of Northern New Mexico’s unique landscapes in many of her paintings.
