Quigley's Castle is the eccentric home of the late Elise Quigley, who built the structure herself in the 1940s using native stone and timber. The interior is a museum of her rock and mineral collection, with specimens embedded in walls and displayed in cabinets. The surrounding garden bursts with flowers, ferns, and rock pathways, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere. Visitors can tour the house and grounds, marveling at Quigley's unique vision and craftsmanship.
