===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, and 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 1930s, 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 for a good cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.'
