This petition is to stop the tear down of Bonnie Springs and to acknowledge it as a historical landmark. The Bonnie Springs Ranch was originally built in 1843 as a stopover for the wagon trains going to California. In 1958 Bonnie McGaugh and Al Levinson resurrected the ranch and opened it to the public as a tourist attraction. Stables, petting zoo, and a restaurant were added to the land. We need to recognize Bonnie Springs as a historical landmark and stop it from becoming another housing development.

The momentum behind this effort has grown significantly in recent weeks. People clearly recognize the value of preserving our local history instead of replacing it with housing developments. This collective interest proves that the legacy of Bonnie Springs remains vital to our community.

It's own FB pg. describes it as "historical". BSR is totally my era. I should've been born in the 1800's when the only mode of transpo was a horse! My family has been going for yrs and I'm absolutely broken hearted :( Went and took my last horse ride 2 days ago. I can't even imagine...

I am a 3rd GENERATION LAS VEGAN who has TRULY ENJOYED BONNIE SPRINGS RANCH since I was a child. It IS & ALWAYS HAS BEEN one of the very, very few places where locals can go {with & without children} that is reasonably priced & ENJOY AMAZING FOOD, ATMOSPHERE, FRESH AIR, FUN, HISTORY & NATURE, as well as WONDERFULLY & REFRESHINGLY, FRIENDLY PEOPLE!!!!!!! This FANTASTIC little piece of OUR HERITAGE MUST BE SAVED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS {especially since we have IMPLODED most of our history}!!!!!!!
