Fountain Grove, California

Fountain Grove was a utopian colony founded near Santa Rosa, California, by Thomas Lake Harris in 1875.

The neighborhood now refers to the modern-day Fountaingrove, in north Santa Rosa, west of Hidden Valley and east of Bicentennial Way and Piner Road areas.

The main structure was a two-story mansion originally occupied by Harris, his wife, and a handful of utopians; it was also used for important guest lodging and common meals.
