}} Sir and Star at The Olema is a historic restaurant and inn originally founded in 1876 at the corner of Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Star Route One in Olema, California. Olema is located in West Marin County from the Bear Valley portal to the Point Reyes National Seashore. Olema is similar to a one-horse town as it only contains one other restaurant, a lodge, a few bed-and-breakfast inns, a recreational vehicle (RV) resort with hookups and a campground, a few shops, and the Hindui branch retreat for their Vedanta Society, all within walking distance of the inn. ==Early days== The building was constructed by the area's original Spanish land grantee, Rafael Garcia in 1876 as part of a 9,000acre land grant from Mexico. John Nelson, the stage coach company owner that ran a stage from Olema to San Rafael won the inn from Felix Garcia, Rafael's son in a game of chance. The Nelson's owned the inn for three generations thereafter. The inn was a popular place of respite for local workers.〔〔 The name Olema has significant historical heritage originating from the over 125adjacent Miwok Indian villages. In the Miwok language, Olemaloke would roughly translate to ''little coyote''.〔 During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake the road near the inn was heavily damaged. In 1910 Henry Fielding Reid of the State Earthquake Investigative Commission opined that Olema was the epicenter of the earthquake. This was later disproved, and the epicenter was found to be about 50miles north of San Francisco.〔〔 The inn survived the earthquake. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sir and Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
