When I was a kid we used to look for rabbits here - The rabbits were long gone before I arrived here in 1976.
From the plaque -
NO. 950 UNITED STATES RABBIT EXPERIMENTAL STATION - In March 1928, the Federal Government established the first and only experimental station in the United States devoted solely to research on the breeding and raising of rabbits on a five-acre property donated by A. B. Miller of Fontana. The station successfully pioneered new techniques of rabbit care and breeding. In 1965, the City of Fontana acquired the property for use as a senior citizens facility.
