Raymond Museum

The Raymond Museum is housed in the historic Charles Miller House, the first and oldest building in Raymond, California, dating back to 1886. It preserves and showcases the rich history of Raymond, with a particular focus on its past as a crucial hub for early travel to Yosemite National Park. The museum features original furnishings and artifacts, offering visitors a glimpse into late 19th-century life. Exhibits also cover the local granite quarry industry, ranching culture, and the town's significance as a terminus for the Southern Pacific Railroad. Additionally, visitors can explore a restored caboose and carriage house with antique equipment, and learn about the area's Native American heritage. The museum provides information on historical stagecoach routes to Yosemite and offers walking tours of the town, which retains much of its historic appearance.
