The meeting opens at 10 a.m. in the activity room at the Hidden Valley Lake Association offices, and is open to all.
Non-residents of Hidden Valley Lake can simply leave their names at the Hartmann Road gate and give their destination as the Stone House.
Brief profiles of the several men who claimed the two Spanish land grants, the man credited with construction of the Stone House and a few of its subsequent owners will be highlighted.
