We day camped at Magee Park in Carlsbad, home to the old Magee House which is now a museum.     Magee-huset er bygget i 1887 af Samuel Church Smith af et samlesæt, der var bestilt hos Sears Roebuck Co. og sendt ud fra Midtvesten. I 1890erne blev huset købt af Alexander Shipley, og det gik i arv til hans datter Florence Shipley Magee, som efterlod det til Carlsbad by ved sin død i 1974.
