Fort Ross
Fort Ross was founded by the Russian-American Company in 1812. Most of the Fort's buildings of the site are reproductions. The one original structure remaining from the Russian settlement, the commander's house, is a National Historic Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. The California Department of Parks and Recreation as well as many volunteers put extensive efforts into restoration and reconstruction work in the Fort.
