==History==
In 1860, pioneer Zachary Kirkwood moved to the area from Ohio. He acquired three parcels of land. He used this land for a cattle ranch. In 1864 he built and opened Kirkwood Station. It served as an inn, post office, and a restaurant. Its convenient location, where three county lines meet, made it a popular stop for cattle ranchers and passing Washoe. When Prohibition took place, the inn had a bar on wheels that they would move across the different county lines that met in the bar depending on which members of law enforcement from certain counties were visiting.〔 It is also believed they did this to avoid paying tax collectors their cut of liquor receipts.〔 They also had slot machines hidden in the kitchen.〔
In the 1960s, when the founders of the Kirkwood Mountain Resort came to visit the area, a snow storm took place. The entire inn was buried under the snowfall. The founders had arrived with a team for a snow survey. They used the survey poles to find the top of the Inn. After locating the structure, they were able to access the inside of the Inn. They lived in the buried building for eight days.〔
