The Beebe Ranch is a horse ranch located at 3062 Ridge Road, Chincoteague, Virginia, United States that now contains a mini-museum. The museum focuses on Misty and her foal Stormy, two Chincoteague ponies from the book Misty of Chincoteague.RoadsideAmerica.com. [http://www.roadsideamerica.com/pet/misty.html "Misty of Chincoteague"] , "RoadsideAmerica.com website", 2008. Accessed April 26, 2008.] Misty and Stormy resided at the Beebe Ranch and now their taxidermically preserved figures are displayed at the museum. Misty stayed at the house on the ranch during the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962, a major nor'easter winter storm that struck the coast. This event became the basis for the book "Stormy, Misty's Foal" by Marguerite Henry.
