Years ago, the Mormons and their oxen teams always stopped at Crestline to catch their breath as they made their way to Seeley Flats. A brass plaque marks the old Mormon spring where water was first found on the crest of the mountain.

In 1926 there was only three hundred homes in Crestline Village. Crestline has grown into a year-round city with over ten thousand permanent residents.

The citizens of the Village erected a monument that tells at least a portion of the Crestline story. The brass plaque reads: “To Charles S. Mann, founder and developer of Crestline Village and Skyland Forest, whose untiring endeavors transformed this district into a realization of the vision he had of a thriving and attractive community such as we know today.”
