Homesteaded in the Gros Ventre

Goosewing Ranch, nestled in Wyoming’s Gros Ventre Wilderness, boasts a rich history that reflects the pioneering spirit of the American West.

1911: Milton Robinson filed a 160-acre homestead claim along the Gros Ventre River. Alongside his brothers, Ed and Butch, Milton worked as a mason in Jackson. The Robinson family was renowned for their hospitality, often welcoming travelers to their remote ranch.

1955: Harold and Claudette Shervin purchased the property, transitioning it from a working ranch to a supplier of hay and oats for the Wyoming Department of Fish and Game.

1972: The Shervins expanded the ranch’s offerings by establishing a hunting camp and snowmobiling business. They constructed a lodge and eight cabins to accommodate guests, with Claudette’s cooking becoming a highlight for visitors.

1983: The Shervin family sold the ranch and relocated to town.

1996: Francois Corrand, inspired by tales of French fur trappers, acquired Goosewing Ranch. He, along with his family, enhanced the guest ranch experience, focusing on creating a warm and welcoming environment. Francois sold the snowmobile business and invested in the ranch’s development. Amy Worster was hired to manage the ranch, and together they operated it until its sale in 2021.

2021: A local Jackson Hole family purchased Goosewing Ranch, aiming to preserve its legacy. They entrusted operations to Amy Worster and her team, who have been integral to the ranch since 2011. Under their stewardship, Goosewing Ranch continues to offer authentic Western experiences to guests from around the world.
