Where the Past Meets the Present.
Schweiger Ranch was homesteaded in 1874 by three brothers from Austria. The
Schweiger family thrived on the ranch for nearly a century. Today, Schweiger Ranch
stands as a designated Douglas County historic landmark, meticulously preserved
and restored as a living history open-air museum.
In the late afternoon sun, you can almost envision the Austrian Schweiger brothers
who first settled the ranch. Open seasonally, Schweiger Ranch welcomes visitors
for self-guided tours and community events such as the Lone Tree Fall Festival and
the one-day Schweiger Ranch Austrian Christmas celebration.
As a valuable educational and natural heritage site, Schweiger Ranch also features
nature walks, archaeology days, and historical figure performances around
campfires. Come join Schweiger Ranch in honoring Douglas County’s history, the
westward expansion, and the enduring legacy of the Austrian family who shaped
this land.
