This 2-acre farmstead was once home to Ukrainian expatriate and writer Father Agapius Honcharenko, who lived here in exile with his wife Albina for over 40 years. Born in Kiev in 1832, Honcharenko's writings advocating for peasants led to his reputation as a revolutionary and exile. Facing arrest and death threats from Czarist police, he escaped to America, finally settling in the remote Hayward hills in 1873, where he quietly farmed while remaining a champion of the underclass. Honcharenko died in 1916, a year after his wife. Their home may be gone, but their graves remain under an oak tree. Nearby is his cave "sanctuary". This spot's historical and humanitarian significance as the home of these Ukrainian freedom fighters makes it quite remarkable.

This is a good stop, where you can sit down on a bench and enjoy wonderful view of the area. Enjoy a cup of coffee (if you brought one with you} and rest your legs from the long climb.
