About this landmark

Plaque text:

Noble Emigrant Trail
This meadow, now a city park, was a welcome stopping place on the Noble Emigrant Trail, pioneered by William H. Nobles in 1851 and first used in 1852. Here, emigrants en route to the northern California mines were able to rest, recruit their stock, and obtain needed provisions at Isaac Roop's establishment, from which grew the city of Susanville.
