Intimately tied to the history of Marin County and its water wars, the scenic Bolinas-Fairfax Road was built in 1878 by Chinese laborers and rerouted many times as dams and reservoirs were built.

This illustrated lecture by local historian, adventurer, and author Brian Crawford will make you want to go out and explore it again with new appreciation for its beauty and history.
