| Most of Oak Creek Canyon was homesteaded in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The first structure at the Lodge, now the kitchen, was built in 1908 from pine trees felled above the property.Frank and Catherine Todd, and their son, Bill, purchased it in the late 20's. Old timers in the area reminisce about wonderful chicken dinners served after the arduous drive from Flagstaff.Cabins were eventually built to accommodate these guests and the miners' from Jerome who came to fish in Oak Creek. The current dining room ws added in '43, verified by a buffalo nickel found under the cornerstone.
