Marsh Creek State Historic Park Details
Established in 2012, this is one of the newest state parks in the California park system, although its history extends back over 7,000 years. This land was an important site for Native American tribes, especially the Miwok people, and many artifacts and human remains have been excavated from the area. More recently, the land was used by John Marsh, who was the first white settler to live in the county. He built a home (the Stone House of John Marsh) in 1853, which is now currently undergoing restoration.
