One of Idyllwild's most interesting yards is located on Wayne drive, just off Darrell in Fern Valley. Formerly the Jorgensen residence, the property contains a plethora of collected iron items. The Jorgensens moved to Idyllwild in 1947, and the collection grew in the front yard from the time they got there to the time he died in 1985. Anna, his wife, maintained the yard from that point on and was always willing to guide people through it. I remember being guided through the yard as a little girl, exploring the bells, shovels, random tools, and signs. The construction always amazed me, and Mrs.Jorgensen was always willing to discuss the scene in her front yard. Anna Jorgensen died about three years ago at the age of 99, but the yard is maintained by neighbors, and it's still a pretty impressive place.
