• The Banta Inn – The building stands alone – tucked along a set of railroad tracks in a desolate area outside of Tracy. And the story of how it came to be, and its subsequent history, makes this rural destination popular with weekenders traveling through the Central Valley an interesting – if not unnerving – stop. It was originally built by Frank Gallegos, an alleged member of Joaquin Murrieta’s band of outlaws – a group that migrated from Mexico to California’s Central Valley during the Gold Rush, attacking wagon trains and allegedly killing upwards of 40 people.
