The General Store at Stove pipe wells

Stovepipe Wells is a small way-station in the northern part of Death Valley, in unincorporated community Inyo County, California.

 

The first temporary settlement at Stovepipe Wells came into being when a road between Rhyolite and Skidoo was begun in 1906 to ameliorate the approach to the mine at Skidoo. A collection of tents was erected to serve travelers with food, drink and lodging. The settlement is now registered as California Historical Landmark #826.
