Marker Text:
When the nearby Squaw Creek mining boom collapsed in 1899m W.A. Bolinger moved his store to this site-it stands just south of this marker-and the town of Methow was born. A tenth of a mile north of here is a log schoolhouse also moved from Squaw Creek. As a legislator, Bolinger secured the furst $10,000 state appropriation for what is now the Methow Valley Highway. Across the river, the Robinson Brothers-early trappers- established the first orchard in the Methow Valley in 1898
