Ghost of an old stage stop...Freeman's Station.

Former stage coach driver Freeman Raymond settled at this spot in 1873; today, traffic roars past on the nearby 14 freeway.  But, in Raymond's day, the spot was near the intersection of two stage routes, and he built a way station that provided food, water, and supplies to dusty travelers and their horses.

Today, only a rusted pipe remains where Freeman Raymond and his wife once
operated their stage stop.  The place burned down in 1915.
