On a recent visit to the Northern Central Coast I had the opportunity to chat with Tracy McConnell, Project Coordinator for Friends of Hearst Castle. That's the nonprofit cooperating association that helps to support the castle here in San Simeon California.

They administrate educational initiatives membership programs to enhance understanding and appreciation of Hearst Castle’s art, architecture, and grounds.
Tracy also discussed the Friends challenges in supporting the preservation of some 25,000 artifacts.

For an enchanting immersion experience, there are five big special events each year, that anyone can buy tickets to. The most popular is “Twilight on the Terrace”, which is typically in June.
