Fern Cottage

The 160-acre Fern Cottage Historic District includes ranch land and 18 buildings. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, "The focal point of the District is Fern Cottage, a settlement-period farmhouse whose architectural and historical integrity are without compromise." Fern Cottage is the fourth and final home of pioneers Zipporah (1838–1929) and Joseph Russ (1825–1886) and their 13 children. Originally called Willow Creek (and Willow Farm), the cottage was built in 1866, with additions in the late 1800s and 1920. Family members lived in it for over a century. The house museum contains artwork, business ledgers, maps, photographs and is one of the few National Register homes in California containing the original furniture and furnishings. It is located about three miles west of Ferndale, California, at 2121 Centerville Road.
