On the west side of the LSH property, along the east bank of the Pawnee River is one of the finest examples of a cutdown there is alone the entire length of the Santa Fe Trail. This location is also known as the Pawnee Fork Crossing on the Post-1859 Dry Route. Also on this property is the location of Boyd Ranche, a trading post in trail days. Both of these priceless pieces trail history are being preserved for future trail buffs to enjoy.
