A visit to Modoc County California is like stepping back into the Old West. There you’ll find high mountains, vast skies and plains, and a cattle population that outnumbers the people who live in the county. But the old western feeling isn’t only out in the wide open spaces, you’ll also find it in the communities of Surprise Valley when you encounter homes and buildings originally built in the 1880s. Documentation of previous homeowners and significant occurrences in the homes is available for visitors to read, so that the stories of these buildings live on.
