On August 5 and 6, 2006, 1860-1890 era homes and a bake house on Angel Island were open to visitors. Shown below are scenes from the event. The Surgeon's and Pharmacist's Houses are residences of the park superintendent and a state park ranger, and are off limits to visitors except during these special days. We greatly appreciate their willingness to share their historical homes with us! Click on any image below for a larger view. All photos complements of Robin Adams, Angel Island State Park Volunteer Coordinator. |
