GRAEAGLE... Shopping
Picture
This unmistakably charming town is known for its little red buildings that today house specialty shops, services, restaurants & galleries. In 1916, Graeagle began as a mill town (known then as Davies Mill ) when the mill and the little red buildings were moved via train from Sardine Valley to their present locations. In 1920 the California Fruit Exchange bought the town and mill to manufacture fruit boxes. Then in 1958 the town was bought by the West family who currently maintain it today.
