Little Basin Memories

In 1963, Bill and Dave bought a parcel of land called Little Basin in the Santa Cruz Mountains as a retreat for HP employees. Employees could camp there, and a large parcel was converted into a recreation space big enough for a 2,000-person company picnic. The site became a beloved perk of working for HP in the Bay Area, and in later years the company would buy land near their facilities in Colorado, Massachusetts, Scotland and Germany. HP sold Little Basin in 2007. Learn more about Little Basin and its importance to HP history from this video.
