Also she will deed 2 lots to provide an access to the site from Broadway. The fort was active between 1853 - 1865. W.S. Cooper, an early day real estate dealer, bought the site 30 yrs ago. In 1925 the D.A.R. obtained a stone from Medicine Rock near Trinidad and placed it at Fort Humboldt as a stone marker.
