Fort Ross Open 7 Days a Week! Starting July 1, 2011 through Labor Day
We are particularly grateful to get this news in light of the Sacramento's State Parks closure list announced in May, where 40% of all California State Historic parks are slated for permanent closure. FRIA appreciates the support we've received from State Park brass at the Russian River district, as well as all our friends in high places who lobbied on behalf of Fort Ross.
Now we can start planning for our bicentennial in earnest!
Salt Point Park is open 7 days a week, including the Gerstle Cove and Woodside Campgrounds. ______________________________________________________ Click here for a list of June and July special events and activities at ______________________________________________________ Thank You!
