The site is located at 4251 Kings Valley Road in Del Norte County, six miles north of Crescent City. A portion of the former US Army Camp Lincoln, active during and shortly after the Civil War, sat on lands now inside Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park east of Kings Valley Road, and also on privately held lands to the west. The current Kings Valley Road is likely located were the parade grounds once were. The house currently in the park was, according to local lore and as listed in California Historical Landmarks, the former commanding officer’s quarters. Although the current house is located in the same location as the camp commander’s quarters, current and past examinations find little connection between the present house and quarters used by the army.
