Baking Bread at the Carey Ranch
San Francisquito Canyon

1920s postcard: "Baking bread — Navajo fashion. Harry Carey Trading Post, Saugus, California."

Actor Harry Carey operated a trading post that doubled as a movie set at the southern end of San Francisquito Canyon in the 1920s. It was a popular tourist attraction, with Native American displays, demonstrations and live performances. The Carey Ranch was wiped out in the St. Francis Dam Disaster of March 12-13, 1928. The Carey ranch house was later rebuilt, but the trading post was not.
