Quigley's Castle
A whimsical stone house designed by a local woman, with a tree growing indoors and walls embedded with stones and fossils, linking the indoor and outdoor gardens.
In 1943, Elise Quigley built this home to her own design. It has floor-to-ceiling windows, and plants rooted in the earth left inside the house grow straight up to the second floor. The exterior is set with stones, fossils, and crystals she collected over many years, and the house displays butterflies and antique collections, surrounded by the garden she tended. The house is maintained by the family’s descendants and is generally open from about April to October, closed on Sundays, with admission around $10. It is about 6 km south of town on Highway 23 and can be visited together with the Turpentine Creek refuge.
