Circle B Ranch Chuckwagon

Mission:
Our mission is to provide the best family-friendly western experience in the Black Hills. We want our guests to feel like family - to kick back and enjoy our unique western setting.

About Us:
A visit to the Circle B Chuckwagon is like stepping back in time. Guests can enjoy our relaxed western setting, browse in the Wild Horse Gift Shop, sip a cold sarsaparilla in the Circle B Stage Stop, or watch the world-class woodcarver, Doug Ladd, shape one of his creations.

Shooting wax bullet pistols, watching western style show downs and eating some of the best chuckwagon grub in the west. The Circle B Chuckwagon offers many activities that are fun for the whole family. The only time you will sitting down will be on a saddle or a seat in front of the live chuckwagon band!

History:
The Circle B Ranch, first owned by Jay and Betty Baldwin, opened its chuckwagon doors in the summer of 1976. After Jay's death in 1991, Betty ran the chuckwagon until 1995, when the Horn family bought it. The Horns continued the tradition of cowboy music and western hospitality until the spring of 2004, when they moved to Branson , Missouri to open up a second Circle B Chuckwagon. Dale and Kathy Lawson took over the reins summer of 2004. Dale and his two sons, noted for their beautiful harmonies, sing in a style similar to the Sons of the Pioneers.

They now perform Monday through Saturday,  May 25, 2012  through mid-September, as the "Circle B Cowboys". Sheriff Dale sings harmony and plays acoustical guitar.  Zach delights the audience with his fast flat- picking guitar playing. Nick plays stand-up bass and is featured in some of the beautiful cowboy ballads they sing.  Kathy, wife and mom, runs the business part of the ranch and makes sure that their guests have an enjoyable evening.  It is truly a family business.
