The ranch is located at 7,800 feet (2,400 m) altitude in Shoshone National Forest, 15 miles (24 km) from Dubois and 2 miles (3.2 km) from the Washakie Wilderness.

Apart from a cabin built by the site's original homesteader, the contributing buildings of the ranch date between 1916 and 1946.

Seipt and his family ran the ranch as a hunting and fishing camp until 1929, when it was sold to Robert and Helen Cox.

[2] The new name was derived from the Tau Chapter of Saint Anthony's Society, to which Robert Cox had belonged at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and from the cross of St. Anthony.

A total of 16 log buildings comprise the historic section of the ranch.
