This is the best tree-lovers
monument that could possibly be found in all the forests of the world," declared
conservationist John Muir when describing the majestic coast redwoods of Muir Woods.
Until
the 1800's, many northern California coastal valleys were covered with coast redwood trees similar
to those now found in Muir Woods National Monument. The forest along Redwood Creek in today's Muir
Woods
was spared from logging
because it
was hard to get to. Noting that Redwood Creek contained one of the San Francisco Bay Area's last uncut
stands of old-growth redwood, Congressman William Kent and his wife, Elizabeth Thacher Kent, bought
295 acres
here for $45,000
in 1905. To protect
the redwoods the Kents donated the land to the United States Federal Government and, in 1908, President
Theodore Roosevelt declared it a national monument. Roosevelt suggested naming the area after Kent,
but Kent wanted
it named for conservationist
John Muir.

Point Reyes National Seashore contains unique elements of biological and historical interest in a spectacularly
scenic panorama of thunderous ocean breakers, open grasslands, bushy hillsides and forested ridges. Native
land mammals number about 37 species and marine mammals augment this total by another dozen species. The
biological diversity stems from a favorable location in the middle of California and the natural occurrence
of many distinct habitats. Nearly 20% of the State's flowering plant species are represented on the peninsula
and over 45% of the bird species in North America have been sighted. The Point Reyes National Seashore
was established by President John F. Kennedy on September 13, 1962.

In 1865, Jefferson A. Thompson purchased
and stocked his 700 acre ranch with Grade A cattle and began the making of California granular
cheese for the up
and coming market in San Francisco. Eager to be innovative,
in 1900 the family decided to emulate the enterprise of a neighbor, Louis Cantel (of
French Swiss derivation) and engage, as he did, in the making of Camembert and related soft ripened
cheeses. Since that time, Marin
French Cheese has refined the ability to produce “authentic French” cheeses
with a unique California style and flavor. Many have compared the taste of our Brie and
Camembert to that of a traditional European
raw milk cheese, although we pasteurize all milk before use.
