Historical Stay
Daisy (Kelly) MacCallum, a Mendocino Matriarch
Daisy (Emma Shirley Kelly) MacCallum, born in 1859, was a Mendocino matriarch known for her charm and determination. Nicknamed "Daisy" for her sunny personality, she added an "e" to her last name as a young girl, thinking it looked more refined. At 20, she married Alexander MacCallum, her father's bookkeeper, and together they built a life in Mendocino, including their family home, now the MacCallum House.
Throughout her life, Daisy was well-educated, loved travel, and was deeply interested in horticulture, planting thousands of roses around her home. She moved the house to its current location after the 1906 earthquake and hosted an array of artists and intellectuals in her social circle. She continued to garden, often with a cane or rake, until her passing at 94 in 1953. Her legacy and roses live on at the MacCallum House, where her spirit of adventure and resilience remains.
