We are excited to have you consider The Canary Barn at Saratoga Ranch for your wedding or special event! For over 50 years our families have been blessed to own and experience the living history and unique setting of Saratoga Ranch. Our special memories are countless.

Overlooking the breathtaking wilderness of the freestone North Platte River, our barn has been an icon of the valley for over a century. Established in 1914, this historic structure was the vision and accomplishment of J.D. Canary. A fine cattleman, entrepreneur, and early day oilman, he brought his prized Hereford herd to Saratoga. The barn was built and designed specifically to serve his cattle and haying operations. The lower-level stalls could house 90 bulls. The main level stalled 12 horses and was large enough to allow a team and wagon the ability to enter the barn and turn around to exit. Among many things it featured electricity and running water!

The Canary Barn at the time of its completion was considered perhaps the most modern barn of its kind in the United States. You will see it truly remains an architectural masterpiece.

Although always a working barn, historically it also served as an informal venue for early day dances, weddings, and community gatherings. At the urging of valley residents, historic barn enthusiasts, and friends from near and far, we were inspired to re-awaken this amazing treasure as a destination wedding and special event venue. The “renovation” project began in late 2023 with a goal to begin hosting events in the summer of 2025. We were overwhelmed with the outpouring of local and even not so local “helpers” to make the vision a reality.

Our happiness is that we can share this special place with you and continue the legacy of making unforgettable memories. On behalf of our family partners, welcome to The Canary Barn at Saratoga Ranch. We look forward to working with you and being a part of your special day!
