Oak Knoll Farm, near the town of Napa, is the subject of this albumen stereograph published in 1866 as number 765 in the *Gems of California Scenery* series. The Library of Congress holds only one print from the original pair, the half meant to be viewed through a stereoscope for a sense of depth. By the 1860s the Napa Valley was known for its farms and vineyards, and stereo views like this one were sold to households eager to see the state's landscape. The caption details come from an old card and have not been independently verified.
