Warner's Ranch, near Warner Springs, California, was notable as a way station for large numbers of emigrants on the Southern Emigrant Trail from 1849 to 1861, as it was a stop on both the Gila River Trail and the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach line (1859-1861). It was also operated as a pioneering cattle ranch.
The 221-acre (0.89 km2) property, with two original adobe buildings from 1849 and 1857, was declared a California Historical Landmark in 1939,[1] and a National Historic Landmark in 1961. There is evidence that travelers stayed at the original 1849 ranch house.[3][4] The ranch is located 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Warner Springs.
