Our Story
From the gold fields of 1849 to the modern pioneer movement - the Sutter Stone legacy spans 175 years of authentic thermal heritage.
1849
The Discovery
Ezekiel Sutter, distant cousin of John Sutter, discovered that certain granite stones near the mill retained heat far longer than others. While others chased gold, Ezekiel recognized the true treasure - thermal memory embedded in ancient stone.
First Commercial Operation
Sutter Stone Co. established as California's premier thermal stone supplier
1876
The Expansion
As the railroad connected California to the nation, demand for authentic Sierra Nevada thermal stones exploded. Sutter Stone became the exclusive supplier to frontier families seeking genuine warmth in harsh winters.
Scientific Breakthrough
Discovery of thermal memory properties in geological formations
1920s
The Science
Dr. Margaret Sutter-Hayes, Ezekiel's granddaughter, published groundbreaking research on geological thermal memory. Her work established the scientific foundation for what we now call WarmCycle™ technology.
Modern Pioneer Movement
2,847+ pioneers embracing authentic thermal heritage
2024
The Renaissance
Today's modern pioneers are rediscovering what Ezekiel knew 175 years ago - authentic warmth cannot be manufactured, only inherited. Our blockchain-verified stones carry the unbroken thermal lineage of California's golden age.
