Description
CALLA LILIES GONE WILD by Lynn Bauer - Gorgeous white calla lilies meander along a small stream in Olompali State Historic Park. These lovely flowers are real "eye-catchers" at the parks front entrance! A spring storm has just passed overhead, leaving large raindrops on the lilies as well as on the deep green grasses surrounding them. Blue skies are beginning to break through, and everything is vibrant and alive! This was truly a very lovely place to visit!
This Park has quite a varied history. There was a home built in 1776 of adobe bricks by the chief of the Olompolli band of the Coast Miwok tribe. It is the oldest surviving house north of the San Francisco Bay. It has been used by the University of San Francisco as a Jesuit retreat, has even been home to a commune of hippies know as "The Chosen," and for a short while, the Grateful Dead lived there. In 1977 the State of California purchased the land and turned it into what it is today...a beautiful state park!
Olompali State Park located off of Highway 101 north of Novato, California, in Marin County.
