Tauhindauli Park Tour during Dunsmuir Dogwood Daze
At Dunsmuir Dogwood Daze, on Sunday May 3 9-11am, Cheryl Petty guides a tour of Tauhindauli Park, a natural resource park at the location of the first settlement in Siskiyou County and the Tauhindauli family of the Wintu tribe who lived there. The Upper Sacramento River winds through it attracting fishers and kyakers, dog walkers, runners and nature lovers.
Today’s tour points out numerous landmarks in the interesting history of this natural ford of the river for beaver hunters, settlers and gold rush miners following the Siskiyou trail. You’ll see Aunt Nel’s quaint car garage, a historic building at the site and where a cable stretched across the river for 19th century tourists would disembark the train and cross over the the resort on a catwalk. Friends of Tauhinauli have planted a native wildflower garden at the entrance, and gardening enthusiasts can enjoy seeing the methods used to establish this welcoming feature.
Dogwood Daze returns with family fun and cool activities. Gardening, art, music, treasure hunt, wine tasting, park tours…Just up the road in Dunsmuir. Contact the Chamber of Commerce for more information 5302352177 or email at hello@dunsmui.com.
