In the late 1800's there were several families residing in and around Roseberry. By the spring of 1905, the town of Roseberry was growing, complete with a hotel, two black smith shops, two stores, a restaurant, butcher shop, logging mill, and a creamery destined to be the largest in Long Valley.In 1914-15, the Pacific, Idaho and Northern Railroad line traveled through Long Valley two miles west of the town of Roseberry. Homes and businesses decided to move to intersect the rail lines at this new location, and the new town became Donnelly. Roseberry became a semi-ghost town of a few sturdy structures and people. PUBLIC & PRIVATE EVENTS:Many of these lovely restored buildings are available for your private events. The Barn is a delightful place for a wedding, reception, retirement party, or dance.
