1810 - 1880
The famous Norwegian violinist located a colony of fellow Norwegians near this site in September of 1852. From this vantage point, Ole Bull started to build his castle. This large wooden cabin was never completed. All that remains is the foundation and stone retaining wall along the mountain side. The colony disbanded and moved west after a year of severe hardships.| HM Number | HM2CJD |
