CA Historical Landmark #346

Last August on our way back from Lake Almanor, Jack, Morgan, Drew and I stopped at this historical landmark. At the time, we found the structure, but were not able to find the stone marker with the plaque. On a recent business trip to Yuba City, I found the stone marker right along Highway 99.

This memorial is constructed of the original iron from the fort of Hock Farm, the first non-Indian settlement in Sutter County. Established in 1841 by John Augustus Sutter, the fort and farm buildings were located on the banks of the Feather River opposite this point.
