The James Johnston house sits on an isolated hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, just south of town. The classic New England salt-box was built by '49er pioneer James Johnston between 1853-1855. His dream was to have an eastern style dairy ranch, which became a reality when he sent his brothers back to Ohio to round up a herd of eastern dairy cows and drive them across the country to Spanish Town. The elegantly appointed house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
