The tour begins at 10 a.m. at the cemetery located at 3295 Highway 175, Lakeport.
From Highway 29 take the Hwy. 175 exit towards Hopland, then head west on Highway 175 for 0.7 miles. The cemetery is on your right.
Drive in all the way to the back. Parking is limited, please carpool if possible. Wear comfortable walking shoes for gravel and slight inclines.
Local genealogists will conduct the tour.
Starting off the tour will be a grave dowsing demonstration and instruction. This activity is used to locate bodies in unmarked graves. Whether there was never a grave marker placed, or it disappeared due to fire or the elements, dowsing helps to determine if the plot is occupied. While not as accurate as ground penetrating radar, grave dowsing is a less expensive alternative.
Lake County Genealogical Society has maintained a research library since 1977 of local family histories, along with other historic documents.
The society is seeking a permanent home in Lakeport to allow better public access to its collection. Until such time, research inquiries can be made to Anita Crabtree via email:

Checks received in-office will now be immediately deposited, eliminating manual procedures. In accordance with Government Finance Officers Association Best Practices, a “lockbox processing system” has likewise been implemented for upcoming Property Tax payments: https://www.gfoa.org/materials/use-of-lockbox-services.
Property tax bills will be mailed out beginning the week of Oct. 23.
Here’s what you should expect: The return address on your property tax bill will no longer be the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Lakeport office address.
Instead, payments will be sent to a vendor facility in Whittier, California, where they will be processed, seamlessly integrated into relevant county systems and deposited.
This approach is expected to make payment processing significantly faster.
The address you will see printed on your tax bill will be:
Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector
P.O Box 6011
Whittier, CA 90607-6011
You can still pay your property tax bill in person
Prefer to pay in person? You can still pay your property tax bill at the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport (second floor).
First property tax installments are due Dec. 11
Whether you are paying at the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s office or through the lockbox processor (i.e., mailing payment to P.O. Box 6011, Whittier, CA), your first installment payment must be received by Dec. 11 or have an official postmark as of that date.
“Lake County residents have asked for their checks to be deposited faster, and these new options support that goal, while maintaining secure and reliable processes,” said Lake County Treasurer-Tax Collector Patrick Sullivan. “If you have further questions, contact our office at 707-263-2234.”
