Stone Fences & Corrals
in the South Central A Living History Exhibit
As many of us drive on scenic Hwy 120/108 through Oakdale traveling towards Tuolumne, Calaveras and Mariposa counties, we see the beautiful historic rock fences and corrals that grace the foothills. Who built these? Why were they built? And how did they find all those rocks? You’ll find the answers to these questions in the research documentation and gorgeous photographs that encompass the beauty and uniqueness of this living history exhibit. A special thanks to exhibit curators, Twainhart Hill and Sharon Getchel, who spent the past twelve months and countless hours interviewing the many ranching families in four counties and learned the stories that have been passed down generations from the early settlers. |
