Blue Hawk Peak Ranch is located southeast of State Highway 64 and is west of downtown Pawnee. The Ranch is situated on the high ground of the property overlooking the Black Bear Creek but also includes undulating terrain with both high points and low valleys. Gordon W. Lillie (Pawnee Bill) purchased the ranch land in 1902 and it eventually became not only his home but also the headquarters for his Wild West Show, conservation area and entertainment venue. The Ranch includes thirty-three individually identifiable resources including the mansion and caretakers house designed in the Craftsman style, the Picnic Area designed in the modern movement, and various other ranch related facilities in the vernacular tradition.
