20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
The Ranch

The Ranch The federal government purchased the Randall Ranch on May 6, 1974 for $1,118,300. Today it is a part of Golden Gate National Recreation Area and managed by Point Reyes National Seashore. In the late 1990's a rare breed of bat was discovered in the attic. The house is now maintained by park scientists as a maternity roost for Townsend's Big-Eared bats (courtesy; https://www.nps.gov/people/sarahseaverrandall.htm)
