This is an unused Wawona Hotel stock certificate. It is number 65. Vignette of the hotel.Excellent condition. Three Washburn brothers from Vermont went to California to seek their fortunes and found modest ones in a mine and general store at Mormon Bar, two miles from Mariposa. Their mine and store weren’t challenging enough so they improved the Chowchilla Mountain Road from Mariposa to Wawona and, on December 26,1874, purchased the stopping place then known as Clark and Moore’s. (Later to be called Wawona - Big Trees.) The Washburns bought the lodging house itself, the open bridge, irrigation ditch, sawmill, barn and 160 forested acres. The original hotel burned to the ground in 1878, but, undaunted, the brothers proceeded to erect in 1879 a new 140 by 32 foot hotel building, called the Long White. By the time U.S. Grant visited later that year, cedar trees had been planted and a large fountain installed. Today it is a National Historic Landmark and very popular Yosemite building.
