About this landmark
Plaque text:
Site of U.S. Rabbit Experimental Station
In March 1928 the federal government established the first and only experimental station in the United States devoted solely to research of the breeding and raising of rabbits, on a five acre property donated by A.B. Miller of Fontana. The station successfully pioneered new techniques of rabbit care and breeding until 1965 when the city of Fontana acquired the property for use as a senior citizens' facility.
