Additional Comments:
The family of Archibald Daniel homesteaded Canyon Creek Stage Station in 1873 
along the Oregon Trail.  Travelers along the trail had used the campsite as 
early as 1843 as the canyon provided lush green grass and water from the creek 
as an oasis in the desert.  The Stage Station was constructed of lava rocks from 
the surrounding canyon and wood floors and roof from the hillsides.  The lava 
rock walls were built 18" thick on the station and tapered 24 - 20" thick on the 
kitchen building.  The station was built in a T shape with a living room and 1 
bedroom on the main floor and three bedrooms for guests on the second floor.  A 
second building used as a kitchen created a breezeway between the two buildings 
to allow passengers safe passage into the station from the stagecoach.  The 
station operated until 1921 and was destroyed by fire in 1976, leaving only 
stonewalls.  The Stanley and Mildred Norstebon family are stabilizing the ruins 
from further deterioration.
