=Park Site= The park contains the last remaining Native American roundhouse in California, which is still used for ceremonies by Miwok descendants. The roundhouse is a 40-foot diameter pine wood structure, containing benches, a fire pit, and a smoke hole. It is situated on a level, grassy field next to several large oaks.

A large grinding stone, containing approximately 30 mortars of varying depths can be found nearby.

The park also contains a small burial plot, approximately 100ft by 60ft, mostly filled with unmarked graves and few wooden crosses and flat stone monuments.

=History=

The original Miwok roundhouse, built in the 1860's, stood at a nearby site called Wassama Village. Unlike the current example, this roundhouse was semi-submerged into the ground. In keeping with tradition, this roundhouse was burned in 1893, upon the death of the Southern Miwok's leader.

A new roundhouse was built in 1903, using the center pole from the original, burned years earlier. When the state parks purchased the property in 1978, this roundhouse was restored, to its' present location, by 1985.
