Description
Inventory #16I2184-E. This house is known as "Samantha's House." Samantha was the wife of Warren Johnson, the second operator of Lee's Ferry in Marble Canyon, AZ. The cabin was build in 1896, and just a year later a larger house was built next to the cabin, and the family moved into it. The original cabin was extended a bit and used as a farmer's cabin and a school house. The little settlement is known as Lonely Dell Ranch. It includes several of the original buildings and a working orchard, watered by the Paria River that runs alongside the ranch on its way to the Colorado River. The orchard is still in operation and visitors are invited to pick the fruit for free as long as it is for personal use.
