Annual Heritage Day Set for May 20th
Come to the Park on Sunday, May 20, to celebrate history, culture, and nature at Olompali's 27th annual Heritage Day.
Sponsored in partnership by The Olompali People and California State Parks, Heritage Day offers a wide range of activities. Visitors can take guided walks to lean about Olompali’s birds, plants, and archaeology. They also can hear experts relate the history of the Camilo Ynitia Adobe and the Burdell Mansion, as well as the planned renovation the historic Burdell Victorian Garden.
Throughout the day there will be family-oriented interactive demonstrations of crafts like basketry, flint-knapping, clam disc bead making, adobe brick making, and blacksmithing.
A silent auction will be held to raise funds for the park, with auction items donated by Marin and Sonoma County merchants and artisans.
And, as in past years, there will be free ice cream courtesy of Clover Stornetta.

For 30 years, The Olompali People (TOP) has supported Olompali State Historic Park, through nonprofit fundraising, volunteer activities and advocacy. Our mission has been to help people learn about and enjoy a park whose 8,000 years of human history make it a one-of-a-kind treasure.
Today, we find ourselves with a new mission: to keep Olompali open. The park is one of dozens of state parks scheduled to close at the end of June due to California budget cutbacks.
TOP is putting together a plan that will allow us to operate the park through our nonprofit parent, the Marin State Parks Association. But we need your help. If you're already one of our members, please renew your membership for 2012. if you're not already a member, please join us and help save Olompali.
