HISTORY: The ranch has a deep history dating back to the late 1800's where an old moonshiner lived in a primitive cabin located on the ranch just off of a natural spring, where he produced moonshine. The moonshiner had multiple encounters with law enforcement during the prohibition days and a shoot-out occurred in front of the cabin. The old whiskey maker shot and killed two law enforcement officers and later, in a second encounter, the moonshiner was killed as well. The cabin remains intact today but left mainly in its natural state for guests to walk back in time while imagining the scenes of the past.
