Part of the BONANZA 50th ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION weekend:

THE PONDEROSA RANCH

YES, that's right! We have secured permission to visit the Ponderosa Ranch House in Incline Village. The owner has very kindly agreed that a group from the BONANZA 50th Anniversary Friendship Convention may tour the house and take photos. This visit is limited to the house and yard and does not include any other part of the old theme park, which closed in 2004. We are assured that the house has been kept in pristine condition and that the majority of the items remain as they were in 2004.

We have arranged for buses to transport you to the Ranch House on Saturday, September 12th (an early departure). We will arrange a photo shoot for each bus group outside the house and then you will be escorted through the house in small groups. While waiting for each group you will have time to take your own photographs of the outside of the house. Once everyone has toured the house you will re-board your bus to allow the next bus group to come to the house.

In order to take advantage of this generous offer by the owner, you will need to sign a waiver before visiting. As we were unaware of this opportunity when we set our ticket price there will be a small fee ($30 per person) to cover the cost of the transport and the charitable donation requested by the owner. Only those holding a minimum of a 3 day ticket are eligible for this trip. So if you haven't made your reservation then now is the time to do so.

If you have already purchased your tickets for the convention and would like to take advantage of the Ponderosa Trip, then please click here to download the PONDEROSA Ranch House Ticket order form or order ONLINE.
