Located within the Savannah's 2,500 acres are these ancient adobe ruins. They were occupied by the farmer families who inhabited these lands in the late 1800s. There are plans to restore some of these buildings.

Along the river inside the Savannah's fence are some amazing ruins of a small farming community. These adobe ruins take on the bright red of the mud used to make them. Looking carefully, you might notice certain walls have Mayan-style decorations embossed on them. All the buildings were small but they are arranged as a small village. You could see evidence of their former thatched roofs collapsed into them. Although their history is not completely certain, they probably date to the late 1800s. Pieter tells me that some school groups will be taking on the chore of restoring these huts. The plan is to make it a primitive but functional village where school groups can go to camp.
