Weekend Paintsites -- Hidden Villa Ranch, Los Altos Hills, CA March 31, 2018

Hidden Villa Ranch has deep roots in California history dating back thousands of years of habitation by Ohlone native Americans, Spanish missionaries, the Moody and Duveneck families, and as a refuge for interned Japanese families during WWII. (One of our beloved local artists played on the grounds of Hidden Villa during her Japanese family's residency during the war.)  The site is now a favorite day trip for visiting families and artists. Today the ranch hosts children and adults to view farm life, animals, and historic architecture. Our weekenders enjoyed spectacular weather between rain storms.
