History

The land, originally homesteaded by Robert Crane in 1852, was purchased by the county in 1975 using grant money from Land and Water Conservation Funds. A botanical study performed in 1991 found significant damage to the wildflower meadows. This finding resulted in the exclusion of bicycles and horses from the meadow areas.[1]
