The L.E. Traver Ranch was established in the 1940's when the family bought about 800 acres and began building the large block house that still stands along Soda Lake Road. The family primarily practiced dry land farming of wheat and sometimes barley. The ranch preserves examples of implements used through the growing season, from land clearing and ground leveling to plowing, tilling, seeding, harvesting, and storing grain. Among them are scrapers, tractors, offset disks, a Wheatland Disk, a Stockton Plow, a tool cart, a chisel, seeders, a sulky rake, hay bale loaders, a grain auger, a water wagon, and a Cletrac. The block house also provides important habitat for pallid bats, western small-footed bats, and other wildlife species, and it has been secured to allow wildlife access while preventing human entry.
