The Place

A former fire station. A new purpose.

Wilsonia Meadows occupies the site of Wilsonia's former fire station within the Wilsonia Historic District in Kings Canyon National Park.

For generations, this property served the Wilsonia community. Today, it is being thoughtfully restored to serve a new purpose: creating a welcoming mountain retreat inspired by the needs of autism families while honoring the quiet character and history of this remarkable place.

Vision

A place to slow down and reconnect.

Wilsonia Meadows is being restored as a small mountain retreat where families can step away from the pace of everyday life, spend time together, and experience the quiet beauty of Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park.

Its intimate scale is intentional: a small, quiet retreat created with autism families in mind and shared through carefully aligned partnerships.
