Glen Blair was a lumbering community from 1885 to 1928, located on Pudding Creek a few miles inland from Fort Bragg. The town was centered around a sawmill, but also had a school, social hall, general store, and saloon. The sawmill discontinued operation in 1925, and the logging railroad to Fort Bragg was removed in 1942. [3] Today, the Glen Blair townsite can be reached by hiking trail, but little remains. [4] A Glen Blair Bar near the old townsite opened in 2022, accessible only by a special stop on the California Western Railroad. [5]
