HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – The 48th quilt block on the Lake County Quilt Trail is located near the Stone House Historical Museum at 18174 Hidden Valley Road, Hidden Valley Lake.

The Stone House was determined in the 1950s by the California Centennial Commission to be the
oldest building in Lake County.

The house was originally built over the winter of 1853-54 to serve as headquarters for the Rancho Guenoc and Rancho Collayomi, the only Spanish land grants in Lake County.

The quilt block design “Oak Leaf Variation” was chosen to honor a 200 year old oak tree which succumbed in the 1970s.

The quilt block can be viewed from Hidden Valley Road where most of the 7,000 residents of Hidden Valley pass by regularly.

It is located inside the Hidden Valley Lake gates, but visitors are invited the second Saturday of every month.

To view the quilt block you may call Georgeann at 707-987-7370 or Jean at 707-987-3568 for entrance
through the Hartmann Road gate.

The GPS location of “Oak Leaf Variation” is Latitude-38.48, Longitude -122.34.

The Lake County Quilt Trail is an agricultural and tourism project designed to promote community pride.

The 8-foot by 8-foot quilt block was drawn and painted by the Lake County Quilt Trail team, a group of dedicated quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers, carpenters and a videographer.
