Hornbek Homestead by Lynn Sprowl
This cabin was built by a woman named Adeline Hornbek, in Florissant, Colorado in 1878. Adeline was 44 years old, and had four children when she built the ranch. Adeline's 2nd husband, Elliot Hornbek, was gone from her life prior to 1875.
Interesting fact ~ There is an air of mystery surrounding her second husband: his occupation, his reasons for leaving his family, and his ultimate fate are unknown.
The homestead is located within the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument. ranch.
