In 1848 John Periera came from Portugal and engaged in new ventures
establishing the willow in 1862. The willow soon became one of the leading
hotels in tuolumne county; housing many dignitaries and wealthy
businessmen who were instrumental in establishing jamestown as a thriving
township. Many businesses were housed here; the first telegraph, medical
offices, and stage stop. The willow was truly the heart of a thriving
progressive area. It supported the first railway station with
transportation and housing for travelers; including president mckinley,
bat materson, and Mrs. Robert e. Lee.
The willow stands today as a tribute to the pioneer effort and continues
to serve the area as a mysterious and romantic dining establishment. The
willow's history of unexplained fires and documented ghostly
occurrences intrigue and fascinate today's patrons. It is the willow's
numerous past occupants which set the scene for the mysterious and
ghostly activities that continue to haunt and inspire strange sightings.
These occurrences have been documented worldwide. The willow's
historical fires and sightings stem from many tragedies which befell
unsuspecting miners and patrons of the past.
Today you can enjoy the same fine dining in the romantic and mystical
history which spans well over a century.
