The Spinning Wheel Ranch is on the Middle Fork of the Tuolumne River off the Cherry Road. You can look down on the site from the road as it climbs from San Jose Camp up to the point where it meets the old Hetch Hetchy railroad grade.
Here's a link to a US Forest Service report on the area, including some interesting information about ownership and use of the property.
Here's another link, this time to the Stanislaus National Forest Heritage Resources page. It's definitely worth a stop for anyone interested in local history of the Big Oak Flat - Groveland region.
Karen Davis, who runs the Museum office, adds that there is additional material related to Spinning Wheel Ranch in the Museum files.
