| Facility: | Kearney Mansion Museum |
| Description: | Visit one of those extraordinary places that not only help make history, it helps us remember it - Kearney Mansion Museum. It was home to one of California’s premier agribusiness pioneers, M. Theo Kearney. His legacy includes establishment of the Central Valley’s colony farm system and the bequest of his Fruit Vale Estate to the University of California for agricultural research purposes. Kearney’s most lasting contribution to this region was his vision and leadership in the early development of the California raisin industry. Kearney became the “Raisin King” and helped shape a significant part of California’s agricultural history. When you tour the Mansion you will learn more about this extraordinary man and his home, and his role in organizing the first raisin grower co-operative – the predecessor to what is now Sun Maid. Kearney’s fortune was made in raisins, and Kearney Mansion, Kearney Park and Kearney Boulevard remind us of that. |
