Our family thought it would be great to explore the Newman Lake area. We each chose different areas to place a cache and give some history on the nearby area (the cache may not be located exactly as the history states but is close to the original location). Please enjoy the series: remember to bring a writing utensil, there is $.50 for FTF along with some geo swag, and as always feel free to CITO. Congratulations to LLCOOL for FTF !
NEWMAN LAKE HISTORY TOUR 23 - FULLERTON GOAT RANCH
The small settlement known as Thompson Creek began sometime in the 1880’s when Lewis Thompson and his brother Will who took up the homestead near the stream known as Thompson Creek, which manly feeds the lake. By the 1900’s, there were about eight families and several bachelors who had staked out homestead in this area.
Silverson’s Mill, which came in 1923, was the only real industry that employed men on a monthly base. Families farmed (sold selling & delivering stove wood), raised a garden (selling home-grown produce), had a cow (selling milk, butter), chickens (sold eggs) and were self sufficient. The lake is fed primarily by Thompson Creek. Mr. Fullerton had a goat ranch at the entrance of Thompson Creek Road and was well known for his goat cheese.
