In 1885 Thomas Cruse, a wealthy Helena banker, bought the ranch. Over several years, Cruse expanded the ranch by adding adjoining properties. The oldest buildings are a cookhouse and an old barn, built c.1885, soon after Thomas Cruse purchased the ranch. In 1913, Cruse sold the ranch to Judith Farms Company, owned by the Bolter family and Al Smith of Helena and Austin Warr, Sr., of Lewistown. More ownership changes occurred in the years to follow.
In about 2012, the ranch came under ownership of and was operated by Wilks Ranches. Maintaining the rich history of the ranch, Wilks Ranches maintained a cow calf black Angus operation true to the ranch's roots. They maintained the historic structures and sought to improve the ranch by including other large ranches all under one operation to preserve the land, wildlife, and rich history of the ranch. [2]

The Bar B C Dude Ranch was established near Moose, Wyoming in 1912 as a dude ranch by Struthers Burt and Dr. Horace Carncross, using their initials as the brand. Rather than converting a working ranch, Burt and Carncross built a tourist-oriented dude ranch from the ground up, using a style called "Dude Ranch Vernacular", which featured log construction and rustic detailing. As one of the first dude ranches in Jackson Hole, the Bar B C was a strong influence on other dude ranches in the area, and employed a number of people who went on to establish their own operations. It was acquired by the National Park Service and incorporated into Grand Teton National Park upon the expiration of a life estate.

Bispham had worked at the Bar B C before moving out on his own. The dude ranch operation continued to 1985, when the ranch was acquired by the National Park Service.

The historical buildings and structures of Grand Teton National Park include a variety of buildings and built remains that pre-date the establishment of Grand Teton National Park, together with facilities built by the National Park Service to serve park visitors. Many of these places and structures have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The pre-Park Service structures include homestead cabins from the earliest settlement of Jackson Hole, working ranches that once covered the valley floor, and dude ranches or guest ranches that catered to the tourist trade that grew up in the 1920s and 1930s, before the park was expanded to encompass nearly all of Jackson Hole. Many of these were incorporated into the park to serve as Park Service personnel housing, or were razed to restore the landscape to a natural appearance. Others continued to function as inholdings under a life estate in which their former owners could continue to use and occupy the property until their death. Other buildings, built in the mountains after the initial establishment of the park in 1929, or in the valley after the park was expanded in 1950, were built by the Park Service to serve park visitors, frequently employing the National Park Service Rustic style of design.
