Smith's Station was originally a popular stop in the 1800's for stages and horsedrawn freight wagons. The original hotel once served guests on their way to Yosemite. Among the visitors signing the guest register at Smith's was Teddy Roosevelt. Smith's was a toll station for Big Oak Toll Road, but you can travel it for free today!
