7 The Cassaretto Home dates from the turn of the Century and was built by Edward Cobden, who is credited with the construction of several prestigious Victorians in the area.
8 The Community Hall is a concrete block structure originally built in 1918 for Frank Cassarretto. Both the Justice Court and the

Critter Corner now occupies this space.23 Watts and Tannahill had this two-story adobe structure erected circa 1851. It is one of four Gold Rush era adobe buildings still to be found in Groveland. Coffee Time and Petal Pushers reside in this stately building.24 The current occupant of this building is the Iron Door Saloon. Watts & Company originally opened a mercantile in this stone building some time before 1852.25 The Groveland Hotel, now The Groveland Hotel at Yosemite National Park, is the town’s largest adobe building. George Reed, a prominent Gold Rush sawmill operator, built this structure in 1849.26 The Pioneer Spirit is alive and well in this part of the Sierra!

Tips for Yosemite TravelersMay to October1. Start Early: For Yosemite Valley destinations, you will fi nd the most tranquil-ity as well as best lighting for photo opportunities early in the morning or late afternoon or evening.2. Get Away From It All: Get out of your car whenever possible. A whole new experience opens when you get away from the cars and parking lots.3. Take a Break: Avoid concession lines by picking up a picnic lunch and fi lm before you arrive to the valley fl oor. Don’t forget the bottled water.4. Do Something Really Different: Yosemite is quite spectacular at night. Try stargazing at Glacier Point or perhaps take a moonlight tour of the valley fl oor. Enjoy a leisurely day hike in the peaceful setting of the Hetch Hetchy area, or pick up a Groveland Hiking Guide.5. Plan Ahead: Make your reservations early. Area rooms fi ll fast. Call 1-800-449-9120 to fi nd lodging and camping along Highway 120.6. Save Money: Purchase souvenirs from gift shops outside the park. Many shops offer unique collections of native items as reminders of your trip and can also save you valuable vacation dollars.
November to April7. Plan for the Weather: Between October and June, wet weather is a possibili-ty. Conditions change quickly. Stay dry, carry some sort of foul weather gear, carry chains (even 4WD’s). Chain rentals are available. Call ahead for road conditions.8. Autumn in Yosemite: Some of the best hiking and sightseeing is found along the Tioga and Glacier Point corridors. Beautiful fall color displays begin in early September through November at these higher elevations.9. Learn Something New: Try the Ranger led snowshoe hike. Experience ice skating while enjoying the spectacular view of Half Dome. Chase away the winter blues by soaking up some rays in Groveland where the claim to fame is “above the fog & below the snow.” Highway 120 is open all year to Yosemite Valley. 10. Avoid the Crowds: Because there aren’t any! The seasons of Fall, Winter, and Spring are the most mystifying because you have the mountains to yourself. Even the peak of the Summer isn’t crowded outside of the most popular areas of the Park, where the lodgings and other facilities are located. With 1,170 square miles, the vast majority of the Park is always serene and secluded.11. Bundle Up: Late Fall through early Spring, mid-day temperatures average 40º to 50º in Yosemite Valley, but can vary widely. Overnight lows are below freezing regularly. Dress in multiple layers so that you can adapt to temperature changes.12. Slow Down: Stop and take advantage of the scenic turnouts in Yosemite. Enjoy streams, woods, meadows, and wildlife throughout the valley. Roll down windows as you drive so that you can hear the waterfalls.

1 The Longfellow Gold Mill built in 1905, is a four-story frame building and is the sole survivor of the local Gold Rush era from about 1900 until the Great Depression2 The Odd Fellow (IOOF) Hall is actually two separate stone buildings with an added second story. The west half of the lower

One marker remains dated 1856.4 Joseph Raggio had this house built in 1900 by Edward Cobden. The yellow building features Queen Anne details such as heavy turned posts, dentils and patterned shingles.5 The Miners’ Bean Kettle is believed to have been built circa 1870 for Louis Costa.
6 Known as the “Gamble Block” in the 1850s and 1860s, this massive building, with its large iron fi re doors, was erected for Alexander Gamble who was a successful gold merchant.7 The old Robert L. Smith Store served the community from this frame building in the 1940s and 1950s. Anne Brenham had the building constructed in the 1930s.8 The Harper Home was originally a smaller single-story house which was
built in the late 1850s.9 The Catholic Church and Cemetery were established in 1861. This is one of the oldest and best preserved frame structures in Tuolumne County.10 The “Big Oak” of Big Oak Flat with an estimated 11-foot-plus diameter stood here. Fire was the cause of its demise.
