Ghost of Walhachin historical marker
A historical marker for the Ghost of Walhachin with an arid desert landscape in the background. Sign reads "Here bloomed a "Garden of Eden"! The sagebrush desert changed to orchards through the imagination and industry of English settlers during 1907-14. Then the men left to fight - and die - for king and country. A storm ripped out the vital irrigation flume. Now only ghosts of flume, trees, and homes remain to mock this once thriving settlement. Department of Recreation & Conservation."
