The plaque says, "Andrew and Anna Hoffman raised their family and lived on this land for 20 years. The Hoffmans moved to Live Oak Canyon from Santa Ana in 1955 with their four youngest children. Their land spanned approximately ten acres and included a three bedroom family home. Ann was an avid gardener and her numerous succulents and flowering plants continue to thrive through this property.
The Hoffmans eventually moved back to Santa Ana in 1875 after the County purchased this land as part of an O'Neill Regional Park extension. While the house no longer remains, the remnants of its foundation can still be seen today. This trail was later named the Hoffman Homestead Trail in an effort to preserve the family legacy."
