THE RALSTON WHITE RETREAT FOUNDATION
The Ralston White Retreat Foundation was formed for the purpose of
restoring the historic Ralston White Retreat and rededicating it to
the public good. The Foundation was launched by members of the local
community who saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve a
unique resource on Mt. Tamalpais and make a place of great natural
beauty available to the community. Among our trustees and volunteers
are descendants of the Ralston White family, who strongly support
the Foundation’s mission.
The Foundation’s vision is to restore the mansion and surrounding
grounds to their past glory, and to make the Retreat an important
venue for musical, arts, literary, educational, and children’s
events and activities.
In so doing, the Foundation seeks to bring to life the historic
treasure of the Garden of Allah, nurturing an appreciation for the
history of Mill Valley and the beauty of Mt. Tamalpais while
enriching the cultural and family life of our community. In hand
with this rededication, the Retreat will continue to be enjoyed by a
diverse range of groups for overnight retreats and day use.
It is a big and challenging undertaking, but with rich rewards for
our community and generations to come. We hope you share our
excitement. |
