The event is a wonderful opportunity to experience the charm of Raymond and its rich history, which includes being a pivotal point for travelers to Yosemite from 1886 to 1907. Raymond was once the terminus of the Southern Pacific railway, with journeys continuing to Wawona by stage or horseback. The local granite quarry in Raymond historically provided Sierra White granite, renowned for its density and quality, contributing significantly to the development of cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
