Woodland begins

History
2
On this site in 1853 Henry Wyckoff built the town's first store to serve travelers and farmers. In 1862 the small wooden building, owned by Franklin S. Freeman, became Yolo's interim courthouse after Woodland became the county seat. The original structure was also home to a church, bakery, saloon, dress shop and Din family's Tai Lee Laundry (1925 to 1947). Four Din children were born here.
