Rodeo Grounds 405 West Willow St Sierraville Historic Barn Tour
Enjoy a self-guided tour at your own pace on quiet roads and see how many historic barns and ranches you can find. Be sure to watch out for wildlife, especially raptors, swallows, new born calves and sheep. If you see a cooler at the end of a driveway - simply stop and buy yourself some fresh eggs. The tradition is to put the required amount of money in a jar and take a box of eggs from the cooler. Griffin Farms near Calpine always has eggs.
