Set across 700 acres just north of Novato, Olompali State Historic Park invites you to journey through layers of history, from a Coast Miwok village dating back thousands of years to a Mexican-era rancho, Victorian estate, and even a 1960s commune. There are easy loop trails past interpretive remnants of Coast Miwok dwellings, the famed “Kitchen Rock,” and the remains of the Burdell estate, including garden outlines and ranch buildings. You can enjoy sweeping views of Petaluma River Valley as you pause in oak-studded meadows or explore the visitor center housed in a historic ranch building.

The park derives its name from the Miwok language and can be translated as "southern village" or "southern people." It offers scenic views overlooking the Petaluma River and San Pablo Bay, with scattered history from the Miwok people throughout the park.
