The ranch house, which dates back to 1876, was owned by Anders Tallman who emigrated from Sweden. He and his wife Christina built their home along Nott Creek. Because of the remote location of the homestead, it was referred to as “Forgotten Valley.” Four generations of Swedish-Americans lived on the ranch. Behind the ranch house you’ll find the chicken house and the stables. The best view is from the porch of the ranch house.
