After seven miles of climbing in
the shade of redwoods along the Bohemian Highway,
you reach the quaint town of Occidental.
Occidental sits at a saddle point
at the head of Dutch Bill Creek where it nestles in
the shade of towering redwoods. This small town has
a surprising range of small shops, boutiques, galleries
and eateries. The church is also is a nice example
of the white paneled buildings you find all over this
area.
The mural at Main St and Minna St lists
57 places of interest – thoughseven
of these have been painted over and the remaining list
includes a firehouse, an attorney’s office and
a video store. However, you do not
come here for the excitement; you come to visit a quiet
and relaxed town
packed with history.
