Reservations Now Open for Fall Dates SAN SIMEON, CA, AUGUST 23, 2019 — The Foundation at Hearst Castle announced reservations are now open for two opportunities to enjoy an intimate, seated dinner on the sunporch of Hearst Castle’s Casa del Mar cottage, followed by a rare chance to see a Hearst-era film in his private theater lite by golden goddesses all along red damask walls. Each evening will begin with a scenic ride up the iconic road leading to Hearst Castle. Guests will dine on the glass-enclosed sunporch of an ornate “cottage” once occupied by the Hearst family, showcasing a sunset view of the Pacific Ocean as well as fine wines. Afterwards, they’ll stroll through fragrant moonlit gardens to the opulent theater to watch a classic film and perhaps newsreels from Hearst’s day. Amid all the grandeur of the Hearst Castle, it’s said that W.R. himself seemed most relaxed in his ornate, 50-seat movie theater, where he would enjoy a movie or performance, surrounded by actress Marion Davies and his dachshund, his famous guests gathered around him. The theater, which leads off the billiard room, was used both for amateur theatricals and the showing of movies from Hearst’s Cosmopolitan Studios and others.  Hearst Castle’s nonprofit association — which leads preservation and conservation of the historic landmark — created this unique fundraising experience for its members, although membership is open to all. They’re offering two seatings this fall: the first on Sunday, October 6th and the second on Sunday, November 3rd. With only 15 guests at each, reservations are expected to fill quickly. These fundraisers are only open to members of The Foundation; however annual membership starts at $42/month. Each sitting requires an additional donation of $950/guest. The nonprofit is focused on raising funds to support a full-time conservation staff, as well as expanding youth programs for underserved middle school students.  For more information or to make a reservation, visit www.foundationathearstcastle.com.

A Museum Like No Other Hearst Castle is a National Historic Landmark and California Historical Landmark mansion located on the Central CA Coast. It was designed by architect Julia Morgan, between 1919 and 1947, as a residence for William Randolph Hearst, who died in 1951. In 1954, it became a California State Park and was opened to visitors in 1958. The Castle serves as the key economic engine of the Central California Coast. Since then, the estate, and its considerable collection of art and antiques, has been open for public tours. Despite its location far from any urban center, the Castle welcomes 1.5 million visitors annually, ranking it as a top tourist destination in California. Sustaining the Legacy Formed in 1985, The Foundation at Hearst Castle (formerly Friends of Hearst Castle) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cooperating association affiliated with Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument® and the San Luis Obispo Coast District of California State Parks. Through membership and fundraising, The Foundation provides funds for educational, interpretive, and artifact preservation programs and supports the California State Parks ongoing. The Foundation looks to be a conduit through which businesses and philanthropic organizations or individuals can provide support and engagement with Hearst Castle. We support the conservation and restoration of Hearst Castle through membership opportunities, educational programs, outreach efforts, and special events, with the goal of enhancing understanding and appreciation, thereby enriching the visitor experience. The support provided by The Foundation at Hearst Castle helps to increase public access to and appreciation of, this unique historical and cultural California treasure. 2019 Key Initiatives Expansion of Youth Programs New programs Reaching students further away Overnight programs Support for Guides Executing Youth Programs <CA State Parks role & PORTS program> ( use virtual/ports  learning descriptions and images) In support of existing Tablets, drawings., etc... Full-Time Conservation Staff The lack of full-time conservators result in the inability to create a cohesive planning and funding strategy that will adequately address the critical and immediate conservation and restoration needed at Hearst Castle. The Castle's 25,000 works of fine and decorative art need attention so that they can continue to inspire, educate, and delight more than 830,000 visitors each year. The Foundation at Hearst Castle has undertaken a number of conservation projects since its inception to conserve some of the most magnificent of these works of art, such as the 15th century ceiling from Barbastro in northeastern Spain in the Billiard Room of Casa Grande to the massive restoration and completion of the iconic Neptune Pool. The works of art have been enjoyed by millions of visitors, who have marveled at their beauty and historical significance; however, many need extensive conservation so their original splendor will continue to be appreciated. The challenge remains, conservators for these great works are in short supply and are contracted based upon their availability. Given San Simeons remote location, special housing stipends and other associated expenses escalate the cost of each restoration. Consequently, planning and prioritizing the needed work is subject to the availability of a particular conservator and not the priority of the Museum Director.

Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.) …or something like this: The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

The Foundation strives to give California middle school students from underrepresented communities an inspirational environment in which they can imagine the opportunity to realize their own dreams through the knowledge of STEAM and first-hand experience of jobs associated with the curriculum. Hearst Castle provides such and environment. Pioneering architect Julia Morgan—born January 20, 1872 in San Francisco, California, U.S. and died February 2, 1957—built Hearst Castle with the most advanced construction methods of her time. In spite of its Old World sensibility, the variety of disciplines required to construct this great treasure of California proves contemporary even in today's world. The goal of the Foundation is to enlighten and challenge each student to assess his or her strengths, and to open their eyes to new possibilities, opportunities, and careers. The pilot program provides participating schools and organizations with tools to sharpen and refine each student’s unique aptitudes through the tangible applications of STEAM subjects, sparking interest and connection to Hearst Castle forever.
