Filoli
Located in the city of Woodside, near Crystal Springs Reservoir, and almost directly on the San Andreas Fault. Filoli is a mansion and formal gardens built in 1915 by the Bourne family. Designed by Willis Polk. The Bourne family made their fortune owning the Empire Gold mine - the greatest producing gold mine in California. Filoli has 16 acres of formal gardens. In the 1930's it was owned by the Matson family, of shipping company fame. It is now owned by the National Historic Trust and is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday, except in the winter. Filoli was taken from Bourne's favorite motto: FIght the good fight, LOve the good love, LIve the good life.
