Major improvements to the San Benito County Historical Park are ongoing throughout 2024.
Ending in January, the existing restrooms were renovated.
In May, many new trees were planted near the stage area and throughout the campground.
In November and December, the entire park water system will be upgraded to supply potable water.
Also by the end of the year, an additional permanent restroom and shower unit will be added to the park.
The park is the home of the Northern California Bluegrass Society’s Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival. The San Benito County Historical Society runs the park, which is a San Benito County Park.
