The Humphrey Museum and ranch was started by J.J. Clarke in the 1870s as a cattle ranch. Mr. Clarke built a small log cabin where he lived during the summers. After Mr. Clarke's death, the family sold more than 350 acres to the Humphreys in the 1920s. For the remainder of the 20th Century, the Humphreys lived and ranched the beautiful Evergreen land, adding on to the original log cabin and raising horses, burros, goats and other small animals. Today the ranch buildings, the house museum, the gift shop, and the remaining 43 acres comprise the Humphrey Memorial Park and Museum.
