In October of 1852 while crossing a fork in the Scott River a pregnant Mrs. Callahan's horse floundered and she fell into the river. Mathias Callahan his wife and son found refuge in a near by cabin for the night where Mrs. Callahan gave birth to a son Henry that same night. The son was frail and needed to be kept warm in a brick oven in the cabin.
Callahan bought the cabin for two mules and some provisions. Because the ranch was the trail between Yreka and the gold fields of the Trinity and the Mother Load area of California there was a continuous stream of gold miners traveling both ways. Mr. Callahan found it profitable to open a store and build a large log cabin that he used as a hotel. This later became a stage stop when the road was opened over the Trinity Mountains. Around his hotel the town of Callahan was born.
Sorry to say it is not much to look at today as it is in serious disrepair.
