Thank you to Moke Hill for another successful 4th of July. I hope everyone had fun. We all missed Cathy Bourland not being here. She said it was the first 4th of July she missed in 30 years. Let's hope she makes it back here next year. The Fire Association still has some Moke Hill hats, t-shirts, reuseable grocery bags, magnets and postcards left. The postcards and magnets were Kevin Brady's design. Moke Hill Nuts is kind enough to sell these items for us. They will also be sold at the Union House when it opens. If you didn't get a Moke Hill water bottle, don't worry.

Hello everyone,

The memorial service for Jeff Tuttle will begin at 1pm Sunday, April 25, at the Mokelumne Hill Town Hall.

Since there will probably be more guests than the Town Hall can accommodate, Jeff's family asked Ron and Jane to provide a viewing option at the Hotel Leger.

Archaeologist Draws Lessons from Lebanon

February 9, 2010 - 11:25am -- Pamela Hill

Julia Costello’s house in Mokelumne Hill sits two-and-a-half hours and 130 miles from the nearest of California’s many Spanish missions.

Not the most likely place for the historian to pen her most recent book: “The California Missions,” a volume critics call an “authoritative” guide to the Golden State’s iconic adobe religious compounds.
