Where did Governor Sidney Edgerton live?
Governor Edgerton bought a building for $400 from Henry Plummer at a Sheriff’s auction. It is located across from the present Visitor’s Center, where the large cottonwood tree grows. The Edgerton family made the building into suitable living quarters. It burned sometime in the late 1800’s. Sometime in the early 1900’s the small log house with a sod roof, behind and to the left of the cottonwood tree, was built from the logs salvaged from the original home.
