Bonnie Springs Ranch
Bonnie Springs Ranch was originally built in 1843 as a stopover for the wagon trains going to California
down the Old Spanish Trail. Bonnie Springs Ranch got its start back in the early 1950's when Al Levinson,
a recently arrived New Yorker, met and married Las Vegas dancer and showgirl, Bonnie McGaugh.
Bonnie passed her strong love for the West and its historic past onto her husband, and together they
ambitiously decided to recreate and preserve as much of the wild old Nevada as they could.
Levinson began building the little mining town of Old Nevada back in the early 1970's after doing
extensive historical research and slowly gathering artifacts from the 1880's. Bit by bit, and piece by piece,
Old Nevada grew, built really upon the curiosity and energy of Al and Bonnie.
The ranch has the “old town”, railroad, chapel, motel, restaurant, zoo, trail rides and event facility.
