The marker says, "In 1888, blacksmith, Joseph Treshil, bought the property from Drury Bailey holder of homestead patent (signed by Pres. Grover Cleveland). The building, with walls two feet thick made of shist & adobe, served as a blacksmith shop. Peter Mayrhoffer, in 1891, leased & used it as a brewery. In 1899 a “smithy” Christian Grosskopf bought & returned it to a blacksmith shop. He died in 1941. Restoration of the crumbling ruins began in late 1940's by the Julian Women's Club & local civic groups. The museum opened to the public in 1952."
