The one man-made attraction in DV is Scotty's Castle. This is a vacation
home built by an insurance millionaire named Albert Johnson, but the real story
revolves around Walter Scott, the con-man better known as Death Valley Scotty.
Scotty tried to con Johnson, but later they became friends and Scotty lived
in his house and entertained guests with made-up stories.
