It was the site of a police raid on Oct. 2, 1967 when Grateful Dead's guitarist and song writer Bob Weir and10 other residents were arrested for drug use. Though Jerry Garcia was not among those arrested it was reported that he was hiding out in a neighboring home. The house remains a major attractions to 'Dead Heads' and followers of the Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia and other band members who travel to see the place where the band hung out in the 60s. There is a tree in front of the house where visitors carve their initials or leave other carvings to signify their visits.
