Visiting the Guest House Museum in Fort Bragg is a quick way to transport yourself back in time. Built in 1892, it is a gracious building that was originally the private home of the original owners of the Fort Bragg Redwood Company, the Johnson family. Built mostly of coast-grown redwood, great care was taken with details that make a building beautiful. Remembering that this was long before power tools, the craftsmanship exhibited is even more remarkable. The name “Guest House” comes from the fact that important people doing business with the lumber company were lodged and fed here when visiting the Fort Bragg lumber mill. The museum website states that 67,000 board feet of lumber were used in the construction of this house.
