Very nice stop on our trip to California. Very interesting family history. Met Stephen Hayes. This was his grandfathers property. Got a little lost on the trails, but was fun! Nice stop to stretch on a long trip!

This is a great place to bring your school-aged kids! Lots of hands-on exhibits, short hiking trails, and an auto tour. Interesting classes available if you're
in the area for awhile.
