Children's Bell Tower
Memorial
Whenever
the wind blows, as it often does on this
exposed coast, the bells chime, sometimes a
few at a time, emphasizing the solitude of
the surroundings, sometimes an entire
orchestra, sounding like happy children at
play. The tower was designed to be a
memorial accessible to everyone, a place
where children would feel at ease. Its
delicacy reflects both the preciousness and
fragility of young life. Many families visit
it to give thanks for their children, others
find some solace for a loss.

Fort Ross State
Historic Park
Take a scenic drive up Highway One to Fort
Ross, an historic landmark and faithful

Orthodox Church that you can visit today.
Special "Living history" days recreate this
fascinating glimpse into California's past.

Thanksgiving and Christmas. Day use fee per
