Freeman's Stage Station: Echoes of the Vanished..

By
Scott Schwartz

A native of Boston, young Freeman S. Raymond joined thousands of others in a trek westward during the California gold rush of 1849. 

Located near the intersection of Routes 14 and 178, the site of "Freeman's Station" was known as "Coyote Holes" when Raymond arrived here in 1873.
