A Farewell Celebration for the Redwood Hostel, Jan. 23

Posted by Molly on Dec 23, 2009

As the Redwood Hostel closes its doors indefinitely, we gather with community members, colleagues, hostel guests, and staff past and present, to celebrate the rich and varied history of this unique place.

An important tribal site, a pioneer homestead, and for the past 22 years, a hostel welcoming travelers from around the world — this is a place that has meant so much to so many. Please join us as we say farewell.
