The Brinton Museum’s 24,000-square-foot, eco-conscious building, houses one of the most significant and extensive Western and American Indian Art collections in the Rocky Mountain West. Opened to the public in 1961, the museum today includes the historic Brinton Ranch House, built in 1892 and expanded by Bradford Brinton in 1927-28 to accommodate his extensive collections, the well-kept grounds, gardens and outbuildings such as a carriage barn, saddle barn, milk house, Little Goose Creek Lodge, and a traditional leather workshop. The Brinton Museum, located on the 620-acre historic Quarter Circle A Ranch in Big Horn, offers an authentic view into the life and lifestyle of a Western gentleman and art collector, Bradford Brinton, who was a patron and friend of many of the most celebrated 19th- and 20th-century Western artists and avid collector of American Indian art and artifacts.

The Brinton Museum on the Quarter Circle A Ranch is one of these places.

Few museums can boast of exactly the right place where nature, history, and art come together in an idyllic setting.
