Degnan's dairy cows grazing in Leidig Meadow. Bridget and John Degnan moved to Yosemite Valley in 1884. The Degnans had a large portable oven, capable of producing 50 loaves of bread per day. As demand for Bridget's bread increasted as travel in Yosemite grew, Bridget was able to expand her production and the family's welfare, selling each loaf for 12 1/2 cents. The Degnans had their own dairy cows because that was the source of their milk during the pioneer times. The bakery (located in Old Yosemite Village near where the chapel is now) expanded as visitors asked for a glass of milk, a sandwich or something else to eat or drink. In 1900, the Degnans ordered a large brick Dutch oven that could bake more than 100 loaves of bread at a time. In 1956, the Degnans operation was moved by the couple's children to its current location in Yosemite Village. The Degnan's Deli remained a family business and independent park concessioner until the Yosemite Park & Curry Company purchased the business in 1974. The family's

The Degnan's Deli remained a family business and independent park concessioner until the Yosemite Park & Curry Company purchased the business in 1974. The family's need to sell was forced, in part, due to bankruptcy. The expenses associated with moving and building a modern A-framed building in the new Village had been too much for the small family-run business. Copy of original photo, 3 15/16 x 9 5/8.
