Known among trail buffs as “Ralph's Ruts,” after their owner, Ralph Hathaway, this site beckons you to walk through Santa Fe Trail ruts and you are welcomed into the pasture. Ralph’s grandparents, John L. and Mary E. Hathaway, filed a homestead claim in 1878 for this land. While breaking sod on the northeast forty acres of this quarter, John and his sons plowed up a pistol, a watch, pieces of hardware from burned out wagons, and bits of broken ironstone china—grim evidence of the notorious Plum Buttes Massacre.
