| '''Fort Ross (1812-1841)''' - Originally built by Russians and called called Fort Rossiya, the fort was purchased by Captain John Sutter in 1841. He dissassembled and shipped everything movable to Sacramento for use at Sutter's Fort. The fort's remaining buildings were left abandoned until 1906, when it was acquired by the state of California, restoration was begun. The trading post was laid out in a rectangle enclosed by a 14-foot stockade, and guarded by two blockhouses at opposite corners. There were originally 59 buildings. A Greek Orthodox chapel, commandant's quarters and stockade are among the restored.
