Mountain Home!

Mountain House
Landmark #589 Kern County Visited: January 21, 2013 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? A plaque by the side of the road!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: One and one-half miles north of this point stood the Mountain House Station on the route of the Butterfield Stage. Operating through present Kern County during 1858-1861, this famous line ran from St. Louis, Missouri to San Francisco until the outbreak of the Civil War.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
How can I Help the Helpers? HERE’S HOW:

  • Become a member of the Kern County Historical Society!
  • Donate to the Native Daughters of the Golden West!
  • Be a responsible visitor! Please respect the signs and pathways, and treat all structures and artifacts with respect. They’ve endured a lot to survive into the present. They’ll need our help to make it into the future!
