      “Cascade Canyon Pioneer Families”Burlwood

       This year marks the 36th History Walk sponsored by the Mill Valley Historical Society. The theme is the History of Cascade Canyon Pioneer Families. A bus will take us from the Outdoor Art Club to Burlwood, the estate of  Joseph Eastland, founder of the town of Mill Valley. We will tour the grounds of the 22-room mansion, the main building on the original seven-acre estate. We will then walk less than a mile on several streets in Cascade Canyon, stopping at century old mansions of  pioneer families. The walk ends where it began, at Burlwood.  A bus will return us to the Outdoor Art Club. Guided tours leave from the Outdoor Art Club every fifteen minutes between 9:30 am and 3:00 pm. No reservations required.  Just show up anytime.
