Help Bring History to Life
Interested in helping maintain the recreated Coast Miwok Village at Olompali? How about putting your gardening skills to work in the Native Plant Garden? Come on out the second Sunday of each month 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to participate. Gardening Tools and Refreshments provided, along with lots of self satisfaction.
Thanks to a a $10,000 donation by The Olompali People, a Dean Witter Foundation Grant and matching funds from California State Parks, Olompali is now open five days a week Wednesdays through Sundays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We will keep you posted on our ongoing efforts to have the park open full-time.
With the State of California unable to fully fund its parks, we're asking for your help. Donations from individual and corporate supporters help us maintain and operate Olompali and make needed capital improvements. To make a tax-deductible donation, click the button below.
