Camp Yard Fence


This old fence is visible from Sidney Baker Street.  It stands at the top of the bluff behind the 700 block of Water Street. It is said to date to the time, prior to 1925, when a camp yard stood where the Arcadia is now.  There were several hotels in town, but many of the cowboys and ranchers who came to town to transact business could save money by bedding down in their wagons or on the ground in the camp yard.
