| Rancho Los Cerritos |
Rancho Los Cerritos Historic Site is a public museum open for tours, programs and events. Built in 1844, the adobe home and grounds echo with the rich history of Spanish, Mexican and American California and with the families who helped transform Southern California from its ranching beginnings to a modern, urban society. The two-story Monterey-style adobe is primarily furnished to reflect occupants and lifestyles from the 1860s-1880s. The site, a National, State and Long Beach Historic Landmark, also includes historic gardens and a research library and archives. It is owned by the City of Long Beach and operated through the Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine.

 | | A. Marconi, Co-op Member | | I must say that this is one of the best field trips I have done with my two children. they enjoyed the history behind this historical ranch. The docents had dressed according to the timeline. They explained very well every room that we saw. At the end of the home tour, we went outside for some fun old fashioned games. We also had an opportunity to make our own homemade candles outside. The process was explained very well and children had lot's of fun. I recommend this place for a field trip. There is no charge but they do take donations. Then at the end of the tour, we were taken to the gift shop. It was really great! I am looking forward to coming back with my kids. thanks |
