Over a century before now somewhere on the bare surface of a planet, cold, alone... on the edge of a primordial sea, a colony was established beside the remains of an underwater volcano that blew apart before humans existed. There's human's remains from an ocean away buried in the ground here, people from another hemisphere who settled here in an act of hubris, an act of pride, an act of faith in a God never before known to the quiet of this scrub covered land, these jackrabbits and coyotes, cougars and eagles, of coarsely strewn hard hard scrabble rocks, and dust. A collection of clapboard constructions stands in the moon and electric pole light, cross topped painted white or bare wind grained and cracking. They're ghosts here as a museum to their memory, preserved by the side of a desperately tenuous two lane County road, faded yellow lines down its spine, shotgun holes in speed trap highway signs, a bar off to the side, raging slogans on tattered political signs, bitterness sleeping through the frozen nights, machine gears waiting for summer in the silence of winter.

Great stop, we visited in 2017 in the off season (everything was closed), still lots of historical information and an interesting stop.
Very cool place to stop. Great local history on a self guided walking tour. Several different structures and several farm tools too. Everything was well kept and staff was friendly. If your are in the area make sure to see this to your list of places to stop.
What an awesome glimpse into history! You can walk around and really experience it here. It makes the pioneer life come to life. The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Incredible views of nearby Fort Rock. I've never seen such large arrowhead collections of artistic displays using them like what they had. Check this place out!
It is a worthwhile visit. We were there when it was closed. Its fascinating and full of history. Beautiful area.
