Journey North through Local History for Holiday Gifts
By Sondra Hunter We are in the
holiday season again, and it’s time to find something special for your loved ones. Come into the Fort Ross Bookshop
any weekend. Just
getting here is a
gift for yourself
and anyone who
joins you on this
adventure. Make
a day of it! Pack a
picnic, bundle up,
tour the Fort, & on
your way out swing
through our shop to see all our wonderful books, and much much more.
We have a wonderful selection of greeting cards with local plants, animals, and scenery. Stuffed animals wth an emphasis on local critters. Basket Kits for the crafty people who want to take learn how locals made vessels for everything from nuts to water. And even a wide variety of holiday ornaments reflecting historic traitions. We even have locally-crafted warm clothing and jewelry created by north coast artists.
Nature lovers learn from our ur collection of education tites: The Wild Mushroom Cookbook, Secrets of the Oak Woodlands: Plants & Animals Among California’s Oaks, Sea Creatures & Birds or for tide-poolers, Fylling’s Illustrated Guide to Pacific Coast Tide Pools (a gem of a book!).
