Kick off

The photos in this blog capture a piece of Leona Valley history from 1913 till about 1930 and are from various Hall family members. In 1913 my grandfather Frank D Hall bought the 3000 acre St. Anthony Ranch, the valley was then known as Leonis. He changed the name of the ranch to Leona Valley Ranch and set about building a dairy farm, but things didn't work out so well. My dad, also Cliff, grew up on the ranch.
The Leona Valley Town Council has a history document here:

Would appreciate any comments you wish to share about a photo or any details you know about it.
For now I will leave comments open to anyone without spam prevention features turned on, if spam becomes a problem I will change the settings.

Barn and Silo on Bouquet Canyon Rd.

This is a zoom in on barn and silo that is in the panorama photo of my first post.  I believe both are still standing. To the right and behind the house on left is a windmill.  I do not think this was part of Leona Valley Ranch, but was just east of it.

    The barn still looks the same--but a bit worn with age. Great job with the picture.

      This was the Juan Arrache ranch. He had large flocks of sheep that he pastured along the foothills of the eastern Sierra. National Geographic once did a TV special on him.
