Sloughhouse - Landmark 574
Sloughhouse, prominent hotel and stage station on the road to the Amador mines, was a favorite stopping place for travellers, notably Leland Stanford. Constructed in 1850 by Jared Dixon Sheldon, it was destroyed by fire in 1890, and rebuilt the same year. Many descendants of pioneers of the community of Sloughhouse, which developed near Sheldon's establishment, still reside in this fertile valley of the Cosumnes.
Additional Information
The Sloughhouse Inn is still standing and is "still" a favorite stopping place for travellers. The Sloughhouse Inn is now a local area restaurant and gathering place. The Sloughhouse Inn overlooks the site of the old "Grist Mill".
