Ford House Museum
Mendocino, California

History, Historic House, Natural History, Nature Centers, Park

The Ford House is a historic home and visitor center for the Mendocino Headlands State Park. It was built in 1854 for Jerome Ford, the village of Mendocino's aknowledged founder. Being located on Mendocino's main street it serves as a visitor center for the town as well as the Park. One of our main focuses at present is the need for restoration. Due to recurring California State budget cuts, the maintenance of the house has been neglected. The non profit organization that operates the visitor center, Mendocino Area Parks Association, has taken on the task of fundraising in order to help state parks restore and maintain the building.
