| Home to the largest collection of bedrock mortars in North America, Chaw'se Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park in Volcano is a place of contrasts. The Northern Sierra Miwok once relied on its 135 acres of meadows, mixed pine forest and oak woodlands to furnish materials for shelter, tools and food. Much later, the miners and farmers of the Gold Rush came to Chaw'se, turning the land over in their search for gold and to plant crops. Evidence of both uses are still found within the Park, with one of the most intriguing being the grinding rock itself. |
