Sleeping in Historic Sheep Wagons

In Sweet Grass County, Montana, rancher John Holifield is reviving Western history by turning four vintage sheep wagons—once used by 19th-century sheepherders—into immersive overnight camping experiences. Guests ride horses, eat campfire meals, and sleep in restored wagons that once carried flocks across the Montana wilderness. Inspired by the region’s sheepherding roots and the local high school mascot, Holifield spent years restoring these historic vehicles with local craftsmen. Despite a near-miss wildfire that threatened his property, his mission remains steadfast: to preserve and share Montana’s fading agricultural heritage through unforgettable, hands-on history.
