Stone House open to visitors Dec. 5

HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE – A Christmas open house on Dec. 5 will allow visits to the oldest existing building in Lake County.


The Stone House, built in 1853-54, is located just inside the old main gate of Hidden Valley Lake and, because it is on private property, is available to visitors only by special appointment or at semi-annual open house activities.


Originally headquarters for the Mexican land grant know as Rancho Guenoc, the diminutive house was named State Historic Landmark No. 450 by the California Centennial Commission in 1950.


The Stone House has been restored by the Stone House Historical Society and furnished with donations to reflect the lifestyles of past generations.


On Saturday, Dec. 5, between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., guests may tour its five small rooms, which will be decorated for the holidays in appropriately old-fashioned style, and enjoy coffee, wine, soft drinks and homemade treats in the adjacent activity center.


Visitors from outside Hidden Valley Lake will be admitted at the Hartmann Road gate.


As one of its ongoing fundraisers to support continuing maintenance, the society will be raffling a gift basket filled with California wines, related accessories and munchies, and a movie filmed in the Napa Valley.


Tickets at $1 each may be purchased in advance (winner need not be present) from members or by calling 707-987-7370, 707-987-3535 or 707-987-4998.
