There are signs of old trails being marked by bent trees, and a few miles up the Whitewater River there is an old historical site marked as a trading post. The Native Americans loved areas with fresh water and plenty of game animals to hunt for food. There are multiple buffalo wallows you can still see in the pastures to this day. Some of the family members have found arrowheads and other Native American artifacts on the ranch.
