KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – “Matilliha Manor” has been added to the Lake County Quilt Trail.

This quilt block has been installed on the lovely Victorian porch facing Gard Street at the home of Ken Harper and Sherry Bauman at 5205 Second St. in Kelseyville.

Matilliha Manor is a Victorian home built in 1871. In the early 1900s the front bedroom
served as a dentist office while the family resided in the rest of the home.

In the late 1980s Marilyn and Myron Holdenried purchased and renovated the home, bringing it back to its former glory.

The home was used as an event center/vacation home before being purchased by current owners Ken Harper and Sherry Bauman.

They have worked hard to honor the tradition of the home with period pieces giving one the feeling of stepping back in time.

This quilt block is in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Holdenried – Marilyn Holdenried founded the Lake County Quilt Trail – bringing together two legacies they have brought to Lake County, Matilliha Manor and the quilt trail.

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

The 4-foot by 4-foot quilt block was drawn and painted by the Lake County Quilt Trail team, a group of dedicated volunteer quilters, graphic artists, painters, writers and carpenters.

The quilt trail is no longer taking applications.
