Old St. Hilary's
You can help fund maintenance and upgrades at Old St. Hilary's. Old St. Hilary's is a mission church, built on land donated by Hilarita and Benjamin Lyford in 1888, for the railroad workers in Tiburon. Landmarks is interested in building two new benches near the bell tower as well as below the parking area to take advantage of the view. Each year Landmarks does interior and exterior repair work on this iconic building. Surrounded by a rare wildflower preserve, Old St. Hilary's overlooks downtown Tiburon and the San Francisco Bay, and Landmarks is constantly protecting this pristine space.

China Cabin
You can help fund the ongoing maintenance and final restoration of the Social Saloon of the S.S. China, was built in 1866. This property is constantly battered by the winter storms and each year needs significant work to fix the exterior wood panels, metal railings around the building, and outside varnishing of decks and benches. The interior gold leaf and walnut woodwork are carefully treated annually as well.

Tiburon Railroad-Ferry Depot Museum
Landmarks is trying to complete the museum in time for the 50th anniversary of the Landmarks Society. We still have 4 display exhibits to be completed, numerous boats and structures to be built, and a protective railing to be built around the rail yard model.

Art & Garden Center
Circa 1870, the cottage is the oldest structure on the Tiburon Peninsula. The delightful gardens and paths are maintained by master gardeners, based on the original design. To complete the gardens we still need outdoor lighting for the walkways, a fountain to help mitigate outside noise, and brick paving of the ellipse patio and wedding walkway. Every year the garden is augmented with mulch and new plants added as needed.

History Collections
The Archives are located in a controlled environment at the Boardwalk Shopping Center. The collection contains photographs, art, maps, documents, books, journals, oral histories and artifacts focusing on the history of the Rancho Corte Madera del Presidio, an 1838 Mexican land grant to John T. Reed and Ylaria Sanchez. We are constantly seeking new treasures in and out of the community and the cataloging and caring for these items is a constant challenge.
