Landmark #575 Sacramento County Visited: April 5, 2015 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? The Sloughhouse Inn is now a restaurant and bar!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: Sloughhouse, prominent hotel and stage station on the road to the Amador mines, was a favorite stopping place for travelers such as 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 live in this fertile valley of the Cosumnes.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
