San Felipe

Here the southern trail of explorers, trappers, soldiers, and emigrants crossed ancient trade routes of Kamia, Cahuilla, Diegueno, and Luiseño Indians. On the flat southwest across the creek, Warren F. Hall built and operated the San Felipe Home Station of the Butterfield Mail, 1858 - 61. Used later by Banning Stages and by the military during the Civil War.

California Registered Historical Landmark No. 793

Plaque placed by the California State Park Commission in cooperation with the Squibob Chapter, No. 1853, E Clampus Vitus, April 19, 1964.
