Historic Fallen Rock

  • Legend tells us that this valley was occupied by Native Americans for many years prior to the white man settling in the area.

 

  • The valley was a group gathering for bands of Native Americans during the rich, ripe harvest season. When cooler weather came around, the bands would  disperse to fend the winters grip until spring.

 

  • When the rock fell, the earth shook for miles around. Some thought an earthquake had shaken the area. Once discovered, the Fallen Rock Areas proximity was identified and known by all as a travel marker.

 

  • Also, in later years it is said that John Dillinger and his gang enjoyed the valley as a hide-out and rest stop. They once attempted to dig a grave to bury one of their fallen buddies, but, gave up digging into the rock on one of the hills. The shallow hole can still be found...somewhere.

 

  • Our quest is to deliver a relaxing environment...A quality home cooked meal for family and friends at a very reasonable price.

ENJOY AND COME BACK
