History
Somerset House was originally a restaurant near the Somerset, California post office, at the corner of Mt. Aukum Rd (E16), Bucks Bar Rd, and Grizzly Flats Rd. A restaurant with this name operated for decades at this location. In about the year 1995, this restaurant changed names, and the original sign was no longer used. For 20 years, this sign was stored in a barn at the D’Agostini ranch. In 2020, the D’Agostini family gave this sign to Neil Norgaard. The Norgaard family decided to use this sign for their property, which is about a 5 minute drive from the original Somerset House restaurant. We now have the registered trademark for this name in the lodging and hospitality category. We are happy to be able to continue the legacy of the Somerset House in this new location, where guests can visit and share the amazing features that this property has to offer.
