Форта Росс |
Fort Ross, one of the main tourist
attractions between Bodega Bay and Fort Bragg, is a California
State Historic Park showcasing a historic Russian-era fort
compound that has been designated National Historic Landmark
status. |
Located
eleven miles north of Jenner on
California Highway One, one of the most scenic coastal routes in
the world, Fort Ross is surrounded by sandy beaches, panoramic
coves, and redwood forests, with breathtaking views of the
Pacific Ocean. The
3,400 acre park offers pristine natural landscapes as well as
historic structures and exhibits that bring to life the former
Imperial Russian settlement, early California Ranch era, and the Kashaya territory. For a list of things to do at Ross, please
see our places to visit section. The
park is approximately 45 minutes north of Bodega Bay and about
25 miles or an hour’s drive from one of San Francisco's oldest
retreats, the Russian River. Driving time from San Francisco is
two hours. |

The Fort
Ross Windmill Lives! Thanks to a generous donation by
Viktor Vekselberg and the Link of Times, Fort Ross is now the
proud caretaker of the Fort Ross windmill, a full-size replica
of a historic windmill that once stood at Settlement Ross. The
windmill was constructed by artisan craftsmen in Russia and
shipped to Fort Ross for assembly.
It's been a great experience watching this structure come to
life, and we thank Link of Times, California State Parks, and
the many others who have helped move this remarkable project
along. |
