Impressive Granite Cliffs

Impressive Granite Cliffs

The impressive Granite Cliffs are called “Centennial Bluff”, standing majestically tall on the west side of Highway 395, here in Coleville California.  They are the site of a historical event that occurred on July 4th, 1876.  A traditional Independence Day celebration was carried out with a picnic of homemade treats, challenging games, and crackling fireworks.  The highlight of the event that would make history, was when three men, Wood Larsen, John Connell, and Mr. Cole carried a locust pole to the summit, anchored it firmly in a crevice and raised the American Flag.
