Hayes Station

Completed in 1860 by innkeeper David Hayes in anticipation of the soon to be completed Sonora-Mono Toll Road.

By 1865 with the toll road completed, wagons, stages, and pack trains used the station as a mail, relay, and rest stop for weary travelers and teamsters.

The single story log building was 18 x 50 ft. with a shake roof. A remainder can still be seen near the large pine tree.

Marker is on Sonora Pass Highway (State Highway 108), on the left when traveling east.
