rancho los cerritos印象
-
Long Beach was once two Ranchos: Rancho Los Cerritos, and Rancho Los Alamitos. History has been captured for the generations to come as you wander through the residences, stables, barns, and grounds. Great place for a family outing. It is a popular destination of Long Beach school children

This historic landmark is one of the most unique journeys you can ever take. This site is where one man and his family helped build what is today Long Beach. The Bixby Family took over ownership from Don Juan Temple and started raising sheep. You have to visit take one of the living docent tours and find out about the entire story for yourself. This is a must see and so critical to how Southern California became what it is today! MUST SEE!

Real early California rancho, bought by the Bixby family who once owned almost all of Long Beach-- and Lakewood, Downey, and tens of thousands of acres here. Docents will explain the early 1800s way of life, for any donation you care to give. Great bookstore-- but "Adobe Days" for a daughter's-eye view of early Long Beach/Los Angeles life.

We have visited Long Beach many times but wanted something different to do today. We checked Trip Advisorand found this beautiful gem! We arrived at 1:30 and were warmly greeted by the docents. (Open 1-5 Sat. Check hours before going) Bob was our volunteer guide. A charming and knowledgeable local who recreated for us the lives of the Bixby and Temple families on this beautiful ranch estate from the 1800's. We saw an excellent film as an overview then were lead through the grounds and home which was beautifully decorated for Christmas! We saw the storage room, laundry, kitchen, foreman's room, parlor, family dining room, blacksmith, living area, bedrooms and the beautiful grounds. Bob explained the use and significance of each room and its artifacts. He also named every tree, flower and plant! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and highly recommend it! They have a lovely little gift shop with handmade/local gifts; many quite unusual and modestly priced. I would return for another visit!

My wife and I live in Long Beach. I was born in L. B. We never took the time to visit this great place. We finally did and really loved it. It has a great story of how life was lived here in southern California many years ago. A time when few people lived here...imagine. These people were far from lazy or spoiled money people...oh no...they ranched sheep. What a cool tour that shows this and much more. Books are there on site to tell you more than you can get here. If you go you will be surprised and happy. I already want to go again. Too bad I waited 59 years to drop by...it s right in my own back yard. Thanks for preserving this history for all of US.

Myself and two girlfriends were looking for something to do during the day while our other friend had to work. Online we found this FREE attraction in Long Beach. What a gem!Our guide was in character from the moment we met him. He was Lewellyn Bixby and took us on a tour of the buildings and told us the history of the property and the everyday living from Lewellyn's time on the ranch. Even when we asked questions he answered in the first person. What a joy to have history come alive. The tour is free but please make a donation so that others will have an opportunity to enjoy the history of where they live (or visit)Note: in the main house there are steep stairs to the second floor and no elevator (after all it was built in the 1850's)

We did not have time for the whole tour, but as I am interested in vaquero history, a director asked a docent if he would show us just that part. The docent was very well informed, and showed me some things in the blacksmith shop I had not known. He also said that early visitors from Los Angeles were told to look for "the gem on the hill." It really is. Yes, you do have to drive on a road shared by the golf course to get there.

Enjoyed our visit here and the guided tour was very well done. Liked that the docent played the role of one who lived there, it made it so enjoyable.

Well kept landscaping, but parking a bit of a challenge. Well educated tour guides made it very interesting. Great history and pleasant attitude. They even wore costumes. Best for adult and gentile visitors, not children.

If you have extra time to spare, take a trip to the Rancho. Long Beach has two, and they both have their charm. They hold a bit of history - both architecturally and culturally (they are museums). On a sunny (summer, winter, spring, or fall) day, take a stroll and reflect on the many reasons why people have lived here for over 10,000 years.
