Dodge Ranch
1907, Jock Spence. 201 Evans Ranch Rd., off Upper Bear Creek Rd. (NR)

Originally part of the Evans Ranch ( JF58), the Dodge Ranch grounds include the original homestead cabin, a 1907 guest house, a root cellar, and a carriage house. During the 1940s the Dodge family converted this to a dude ranch, which has since become the school district's outdoor laboratory.
