Just west of where I live, over the hill, is a tiny unincorporated town dating back to the 1860's. 150 years ago is, pretty much, ancient history for California and the white-man in this part of the world.

A tinier town would be difficult to find. Just this old church, and a few old houses that can be counted on one hand with about two fingers left over.

Rancho Nicasio, a steakhouse and bar, pulls in an urban crowd on weekends. Curiously there is a baseball field in the center of town that motorists need to carefully navigate around. Recently a cheese factory came to town--giving the other cheese factory, about 5 miles away, some competition. In October, families arrive at a farm on the outskirts to carefully select and buy pumpkins.
Old St. Mary's shows off a style known as Carpenter Gothic. The likeness of Mary has a perfect view of the baseball diamond. I imagine she silently keeps score and can recite important vital statistics of all games played here, going way back in time.
