Furnace Creek is a spring fed stream flowing into Death Valley. Native Americans lived here centuries prior to its discovery by lost Forty Niners. In 1881, Aaron Winters found borax nearby, and sold his claims and water rights to William Tell Coleman. Greenland Ranch was constructed at this site to support the borax workmen and twenty-mule teams. Francis Marion Smith acquired the site for his company which became US Borax and renamed it Furnace Creek Ranch. They produced borax in the valley until 1927. The Ranch was opened to guests in 1932. The Museum was set up by Harry Gower and Ann Rosener in 1954 in the oldest structure in the Valley, built about 1883. Fred Harvey Company purchased the Death Valley properties from US Borax in 1969. Haunted Furnace Creek Inn Death Valley CA Ghost Stories The ghost reported to be at Furnace Creek Inn is that of Chef James Marques. Chef Marquez worked at Furnace Creek Inn from 1959 until 1973.

Does Chef Marquez return to beautiful Death Valley and the career he loved? History of Furnace Creek Inn Furnace Creek Inn is in Death Valley, which in the summer can reach extreme temperatures of 125 degrees. Death Valley has extraordinarily clear air, making it a great location for Hollywood movie making. The film industry loves the clear air because it makes colors more vivid and alive on film. The towering mountains and colorful canyons are amazingly beautiful. Death Valley has been the backdrop of over 40 films and many television shows. Death Valley, in the desert northeast of Los Angeles and northwest of Las Vegas, was an obstacle to the rich gold region during the Gold Rush era. The intensely hot temperatures made travel across the arid desert dangerous and deadly. Furnace Creek Inn opened in 1927. The mission style building was set into a low ridge overlooking Furnace Creek Wash. The adobe bricks were made by hand by Paiute and Shoshone Indian laborers. In 1930 a delightful swimming pool was built. The water was piped down into and through the pool into the inn's gardens and into a date grove. The pool water remains a constant 85 degrees of naturally filtered water. The inn was a popular destination, even during the years of the Great Depression. Since the road conditions through the desert were not good it was decided to promote the use to the Death Valley and Ronopah & Tidewater Railroads for transportation to the inn. Transcontinental railroads, The Union Pacific and the Sante Fe promoted packages for tourist travel to Death Valley Junction. During the 1930s the inn provided a getaway for celebrities including William Powell, Claudette Colbert, John Barrymore, Bette Davis and Jimmy Stewart. Clark Gable and Carole Lombard eloped, getting married in Kingman, Arizona and spending their honeymoon at Furnace Creek Inn. The Furnace Creek Inn closed during the World War II years, from 1942 to 1945. The inn reopened after the war, as elegant as ever.
