The arrastra was a very primitive way of milling or crushing gold ore, using a mule walking in a circle and "drag" stones, a method brought to the New World by the Spaniards. The Tehachapi Heritage League moved the arrastra to this location stone by stone. This arrastra was in danger of being eroded and destroyed by runoff water at its original site at Water Canyon Creek
