I spent much of my visit around this striking building, trying to get a feel for what it was like to live here more than 100 years ago, far from town yet so very peaceful. The grounds as well as the house recall a prosperous past here at bayside; a visitor could close their eyes and imagine how the families who owned or worked the farm lived and thrived way back when. I basked in the gardens of the large dwelling, taking in the whispers of yesteryear rustling through the trees.

The park is also home to many animals and birds, such as turkey vultures, black-tailed deer, cougars, coyotes, squirrels, and red-tailed hawks. Cattle, sheep, and goat ranchers still use portions of the park for grazing purposes and hold a one hundred-year lease that is effective until the 2060s.
