| Description |
The Walker Cabin dates back to the mid-19th century gold rush period and is located in the Keyesville Recreation Area, west of Lake Isabella in Kern County, California. The cabin got its name from the infamous rough and tumble tenants; brothers who were often referred to as the “Shooting Walkers”. The cabin was built some years before the Walker brothers actually resided in it, but the nickname stuck as a result of a particularly grisly shootout that involved one brother shooting the other. The site is considered haunted by some and has been investigated by a paranormal team. The mid and late 19th century saw a heavy influx of gold fever settlers into the California valleys. These new inhabitants added to the rich and diverse culture of California and played an important role in shaping the region into what it is today. The BLM has begun the process of restoring the structures and artifacts from the tumultuous gold rush era in the Keyesville area. These cultural resources provide a wealth of historical information; they are a living window into California’s vibrant past. By Melissa Ghergich, BLM |
