The Giant Cheese of Santa Cruz
Isaac Graham also owned part of this land before he lost it in a Sheriff’s Sale. The Giant Cheese was made by the brothers as an advertisement gimmick and it was 20 feet in circumference. It was shown in the World's Fair and then slices were sent to Abraham Lincoln, General Grant and others.
