Aesthetic Appeal
The Dutton House is the first painting in the new Yellowstone Collection by Thomas Kinkade Studios. This officially licensed collection was created in collaboration with Paramount®, and features settings from and inspired by the iconic Yellowstone TV series. This painting beautifully portrays John Dutton's family home, the main lodge on the 776,000 square foot Dutton Ranch, in the Paramount series.
Historical Context
In 1883, the prequel to Yellowstone, John's great-great grandparents, James and Margaret Dutton, along with their children, Elsa and John, fled poverty and moved from Tennessee to Montana, founding the Dutton Ranch. In real life, the 6,000 square foot lodge is located on the Chief Joseph Ranch in Darby, Montana. Named after the Salish chief who led his tribe through this valley during the Nez Pierce War in 1877, the 2,500 acre property was homesteaded by settlers in 1880 and was initially called Shelton Ranch.
In 1914, William S. Ford and Federal Judge Howard Clark Hollister purchased the land, which was being used for an apple orchard. Over the course of three years, they worked with the architectural firm Bates & Gamble to design and build the stone and log home. They replaced the apple orchards with three massive barns, and the largest herd of Holstein cows west of the Mississippi.
In addition to being the set for Yellowstone, this iconic home and the land on which it sits is currently a working family-owned ranch. And as a guest ranch, travelers may book stays during the year in two of the cabins on the property.
