Olompali State Historic Park in Novato, CA holds significant cultural and historical importance as a sacred site for both Native Americans and hippies from the Haight-Ashbury era. Evidence of the Coast Miwok tribe's presence dating back to 6,000 B.C. can be found within the park, which also served as a cultural gathering spot and commune in the late 1960s frequented by the Grateful Dead.
Established as a state historic park in 1990, Olompali now offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of the area through a small museum, a bookstore, picnic areas, and scenic hiking trails. The park's legacy as a home to the Southern People (Olompali) of the Coast Miwok tribe until the 1850s continues to be honored, with many artifacts on display and a recognized descendant group still active in the North Bay region.
