Fort Ross
Interpretive Association
"The Mission of the Fort Ross Interpretive Association, a State Park Cooperating
Association since1976,
is to promote, for the
benefit of the public, the interpretive and educational activities of Fort Ross
State Historic Park. To this end, FRIA operates a museum bookstore in the Fort
Ross Visitor Center and keeps the museum and bookstore open daily year-round,
continues to build and organize the Fort Ross library and archives, and develops
exhibits and displays in the park. FRIA publishes books and brochures about Fort
Ross as well as a bi-monthly historical newsletter distributed to over 400
paying members. A cooperative project with the Native Kashaya community, UC
Berkeley, and State Parks is the development of a cultural trail in the park.
FRIA has restored and furnished the historic Call Ranch House, now open with
volunteer guides. Interior restoration and furnishing of the Rotchev House, the
oldest wood structure in California, is now underway with the goal of opening it
as a house museum by 2007." For information about the library or the
bookstore please visit their website at www.fortrossinterpretive.org
