The life of Lucinda J. Davis and her family is intertwined with the North Cascades region. Her love of the wilderness and desire for independence drew her to the region in the late nineteenth century.
The Buckner Homestead Historic District expresses the history of early settlement and agricultural development in the North Cascades. Originally home to William Buzzard, the remote area later served as the home and commercial orchard of the Buckner family. The orchard, buildings, roads, and other features that remain on the property still reflect the homestead's historic organization and use.
