The Dutschke Ranch. . Two German orphaned immigrant brothers come to the United States of America.

In 1862, he purchases the first of various portions of the land which becomes the Dutschke Ranch. His son, Charles Jacob Dutschke inherits the ranch and leaves it to his two sons, Herman and Carleton Dutschke who operate it as Dutschke Brothers Ranch. For more than 150 years and at the time of this dedication, the ranch continues under the Dutschke Family ownership.
