Saved



The quiet dignity of Fort Ross will, thankfully, continue to be shared with visitors thanks to an agreement announced today.

Fort Ross is a place that inspires feelings of profound stillness. Its raw magic is something that should really not be missed by travelers on the Mendonoma coast.

Sadly, California budget cuts have recently left this historic site unable to stay open more than 3 days per week.

So when a wealthy Russian stepped forward to establish a foundation to keep the cherished park open, the entire Russian American community in San Francisco rejoiced.

A rare agreement for a rare treasure. Next time you're driving along the coast, take a break from the winding drive down Highway One. The tales of Fort Ross will quietly renew and refresh you for your journey.
