William B Ide Adobe SHP Park Host and Interpretation Volunteers
The Historic Homestead is the main attraction of the park. Named after a leader in the short-lived Bear Flag Revolt, this park enables visitors to experience the California frontier at an 1852 adobe homestead overlooking the banks of the peaceful Sacramento River.
Park Host
Hosts temporarily reside in the park unit and typically serve 30 hours per week. We provide electrical, water, and sewer hook ups. We require a 6 month commitment. Our host site allows up to a 24' trailer.
Hosts are visible representatives in California State Parks and day-use areas. Hosts may perform a multitude of duties to help the park including:
- Assisting visitors;
- Collecting fees
- Performing light janitorial and maintenance duties;
- Conducting living history interpretive programs, and;
- Encouraging compliance with park rules and regulations (although hosts do not perform actual law enforcement duties).

Interpretation Volunteers
Our interpretation volunteers assist with special events, school programs, gardening, sewing, and living history programs. These volunteers make our programs possible and bring history alive in park and community.
