Fort Janesville (California Historical Landmark No. 758)

Fort Janesville is a California Historical Landmark known for its significant role during the Pyramid Lake Indian War of 1860. Residents of the Honey Lake Valley built this stockade as a protective measure. While the expected Indian attack never materialized, Fort Janesville later served as a private school from 1861-1864. Today, it remains an educational resource that offers insight into early settler life and the historical context of the region. It provides an opportunity for field trips and educational visits focused on local history and heritage.
