Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

An old, red, two-room house, probably a remnant of the More occupation, stood near the bend in the eucalyptus trees by the pier. A red outhouse stood nearby. Cowboys and their families lived in the house. Later the house was used for storage. The ranch supply of dynamite sat in the building for years until becoming deteriorated and dangerous. With the help of Navy experts, the house and its contents were burned, leaving only the outhouse, which was stabilized, repaired, placed on a new foundation, and reroofed by NPS in 2003.
