This is a roadside historical marker near the now infamous Oregon Trail. In the mid 1800’s pioneers started a small community here that was soon called Rattlesnake Junction. In order to attract other pioneers to settle here the local citizens decided to rename their community, and called it Mountain Home. The railroad soon completed the rail line down in the valley. So the citizens of Mountain Home again took on a major decision and relocated the community of Mountain Home near the railroad about ten miles to the south. Not long after, gold was discovered near Rocky Bar. So many new immigrants poured in with gold fever in their eyes.
