Wunderlich County Park is a hillside area of redwood forest, open meadows, and beautiful oaks and madrones that will hopefully have fall colors. This area was donated to the County by Martin Wunderlich. It contains what was once the Folger family ranch, and the estate stable and surrounding buildings have been restored to provide a historic treasure to the community. Originally belonging to the Folger family (of Folgers Coffee fame), this estate was used as a country getaway. The Folger Estate site remains an enchanting example of the bygone great estates era. Fully renovated in 2010, the 1903 Folger property was designed by Arthur Brown, Jr., in partnership with Henry Schulze. Later in his career, Brown gained fame for his work on Coit Tower, the War Memorial Opera House, and City Hall in San Francisco. There are other buildings including a dairy house. In the rare chance that it is wet, we can sketch inside the Carriage Room Museum.
