This property is of historical significance as it includes the grave site of one of the Japanese colonists, Okei Ito. A young girl of 17 when she arrived, Okei died at the age of 19 in 1871. She lies buried on a hill on the Veerkamp property . Okei is believed to be the first Japanese woman to die in America and has become a minor but popular folk hero in both Japan and here in California. Contact David Girard Vineyards for tour or dinner reservations at 295-1833.
