The Gaskill Brothers Stone Store (also known as the Campo Stone Store) has been a fixture in Campo, California since 1885, but despite it being one of the deadliest gunfights of the old west, few people have heard of the battle that led to its creation.
In 1875, Campo was relatively new town, having been established less than a decade earlier by Silas and Luman Gaskill, but with the success of the store, a group of bandits figured they'd make some easy money raiding the town and store. They couldn't have been more wrong. The ensuing battle led to the end of the road for seven men, and reshaped the town of Campo.
In this video we visit the Campo Stone Store and talk about the often-forgotten gunfight at Campo. We also explore the Stone Store Museum and talk about nearby Camp Lockett.

The Gaskill Brothers Stone Store is located at 31130 CA-94, Campo, CA 91906.
