             Zack Kirkwood, a cattle rancher who had settled in the area, opened 
            an inn, named Kirkwood's, in 1863 with the opening of the 
            Amador/Nevada Wagon Toll Road, the primary route through the Sierra 
            Nevada (US)Sierra Nevada Mountains. The following year, Alpine 
            County was created and the redrawing of the county borders placed 
            the inn at the convergence of Alpine, El Dorado County, CaliforniaEl 
            Dorado, and Amador County, CaliforniaAmador counties (the borders 
            were later changed so the inn is no longer in El Dorado County, but 
            the original signpost marking the intersection of the three is still 
            in the building). Eventually, the inn became a fashionable summer 
            resort.

            After Zack's death, the inn stayed in the family and continued to 
            operate until 1966, when it was sold to an investment group, who 
            then converted it into the present-day Kirkwood Mountain Resort.

            The original building (still standing) is registered as California 
            Historical Landmark #40.
