    This place is beautiful and fun for some pictures. There's a parking area once you're inside the area. There's also a little shop on the premises. Plenty to appreciate while you walk around. There's a small area with some chickens and some horses. Great spot for kids to walk and explore a bit!

    The museum is amazing. Learning about these people is so much fun and to experience this with my child is even better. Highly recommend

    I finally made it to their Holiday Open House, and wow--what a magical way to celebrate the season! Tickets were only $5, and I was glad I arrived right at the 4pm start because parking filled up quickly. There's a lot across from the festivities, and we were greeted by the kindest gentleman who helped usher us in. From there, it's just a short walk up a small hill to the entrance. I truly can't say enough about all the volunteers--they were incredible. So warm, welcoming, and genuinely enthusiastic, which made the whole experience even more special. A live band playing holiday music set the perfect festive mood, and the ambiance was absolutely lovely. They offered apple cider and cookies, along with fun craft tables that added to the charm. After a short walk to the house and quarters, we were greeted by docents stationed throughout, all fully in character as if they'd stepped straight out of the era. So cool--and incredibly knowledgeable! Such a delightful, well-organized event. I'll definitely be back next year!

    Living history, within reach & free to visit/park https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&select=8huRWg4LsxXD63dR14sRJg Rancho Los Cerritos, the homeland of the Tongva, Manuel Nieto, John Temple & the Bixby Estate, is a living backdrop of pre-California to 1955. Reservations can be made online, and walk-ins are easily accommodated. Visitors must first check-in at the Visitor's Center. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&start=120&select=Uk3mxjofAwAAsYKxEbkFwQ Built in 1844, The Adobe Ranch House is the most important artifact at Rancho Los Cerritos. A bedroom, laundry room, furniture storeroom, food storeroom, blacksmith shop, non-circulating library, sunporch, parlor, living room & dining room are some of the sites to see. It was a pleasure to see some of the personal effects of those whom once lived in the house, such as handwritten letters & liniment. The second floor was closed off to the public, at the time. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&start=96&select=V5q72Z3ocD9KusFNQhV9-g Bedroom https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&start=96&select=mk-ehPzzYGfFw0M-XfVEoQ Laundry https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&start=72&select=IG9KM01JNUJaGwB2xJZZ5w Library https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&start=24&select=mSwtQjP2Pp4iSP4AUwbfMA Some objects in the various rooms & around the gardens are labelled as items allowed to be touched.

The butter making station, in particular, I found was a great way to bring the public closer to their food & how it's made. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&start=24&select=-lw6yvb654lWmTVSlD47xA The wisteria were in full bloom, and the encouragement of several of the staff members made a closeup pic an imperative. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&select=rPkBMGOYKn02KpNWXhg8Eg A historical landmark, free to see & free to park. Visiting Rancho Los Cerritos was fascinating and worthwhile endeavor. Taking great pics, and revisiting the past of Californians before me, Rancho Los Cerritos is a must see. The property , while small, is rich with history, and would make a great venue for weddings and what not. I look forward to visiting again, soon. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA&start=0&select=BAlRdJjITrnFeFPSZ3_NBg

    Rancho Los Cerritos presents Fire on the Hill documentary and panel discussion. Beautiful venue and friendly staff. Id forgotten about the tours that are available. Lot of history not only about long beach but California overall

    Parking for Rancho Los Cerritos is on the west side of Virginia
    Derek W.

    I can't believe I hadn't heard of this historical site before, and the only reason I knew about it was because of my randomly scanning through Google Maps one day. Rancho Los Cerritos (RLC) caught my eye because it was smack dab in the middle of a golf course, and I thought at first, it was like a country club. Well, not too far off, at least distance wise, since it is adjacent to the Virginia Country Club. However, RLC is its own entity that is open to the public albeit limited hours. RLC is located on the west side of Long Beach Blvd north of San Antonio. From San Antonio, simply go north on Virginia, and the historical site will be at the end. There is very limited parking by the site, and I think it's accessible parking only anyhow. However, there's a larger lot on the west side of Virginia that patrons and volunteers can park at. Besides those two lots, the only other lot nearby is for the Virginia Country Club, and I don't think you can park there unless you're a member. When you arrive, you'll have to check in at the Visitor Center. You'll be asked to provide contact information unless you fill out an RSVP form online indicating the day and hour you'd like to visit. On that form, you can also specify if you'd like a house tour, a garden tour, or both. On my first visit, I chose both, but the form doesn't specify how long the tours take. I signed up to visit from 4 to 5 PM on a Sunday, but I arrived a little earlier than that to find parking and my way around. After entering the Visitor Center, I checked in with the hostess, and there was a volunteer docent sitting behind her. The museum shop was next to them, but it's a really small shop. Don't expect anything like the Alamo Gift Shop in San Antonio (the city this time, not the street lol). The hostess asked me if I'd be interested in a tour, and I told her I specified on the online form I was interested in either a garden or a house tour. Since I came about an hour before closing, I was told I couldn't do both tours, but Martin, the volunteer behind her, could give me a tour of the house. At the time of my visit, there was a special event going on, which played really loud music that really didn't fit in with the vibe of a historical museum. Martin did what he could to show me around the adobe house and tell me more about each individual room. He had been volunteering with RLC for about 15 years, so he had an abundance of knowledge to share! Unfortunately, his knowledge base didn't encompass the garden tours, but his wife, Joyce, could give one. However, when Martin tried to call her, she didn't pick up, so he suggested I visit the California Native Garden and see if I could catch up to her somehow. After strolling through the native garden, which wasn't much acreage, I heard Joyce call me and ask if I'd like a garden tour, to which I responded affirmatively. Another visitor was with her, and I tagged along with them. She went through the various gardens around the site and talked about literally each plant there! In the time it took me to walk 5 seconds, she'd take just as many minutes to talk about the plants that I would pass by. During the tour, that other visitor mentioned Rancho Los Alamitos to me, and I made it a point to stop by to see how that one compared to Rancho Los Cerritos. With just a few minutes to go before the 5 PM closing time, Joyce was courteous enough to take me through the gardens all around the adobe house. It felt like a maze! Once the hour hand hit the 5, we had to make our way out of there, but I did get to thank Martin again for the house tour earlier. It was such a pleasure meeting both Martin and Joyce! I went a couple more times after that, both on Thursdays, and I had the pleasure of meeting another volunteer, Tom. Tom was great as well! He led me on a tour around the gardens the first time I met him. I was impressed at his wealth of knowledge of all the plants at the gardens despite the lack of signage. Some signs would have been more than helpful as I learned when I went the following Thursday. After checking in, the hostess offered me a laminated handout of a self-guided tour, which took me around the site and even gave directions along the way! However, I stumbled upon the parlor of the adobe house, which I mentioned to Tom, and he said the parlor was no longer open. He and another volunteer/staffer confirmed that the self-guided tour handout was actually out of date. Hopefully, they can update the self-guided tour soon so I can give it another go! Navigating the gardens was a challenge because I couldn't tell which green door the handout was referring to. There were multiple green doors! That was just one example, and with multiple paths around the gardens, it was tough to tell which section of the garden each paragraph was referring to. Overall, a must visit! The only reason I dropped the 5th star is because the special events can be disruptive to your experience at this fine historical site.

    The man the the myth, the soft spoken but very knowledgeable Martin was our tour guide for the impromptu visit! Came upon this place after lunch and wanting to enjoy a nice walk outdoor and found this place on google maps. Driving up to this place, I thought it was part of the country club and I had accidentally navigated to the wrong location. But if you continue to the end, turn left to the parking and walk to the right is the Ranchos Los Cerritos historic location. Martin was such a great tour guide that lead us through the historic site and gave us a background of the location dating back to the 1800s during Spanish rule through to US ownership and onward. It was thought provoking to think that leather was the main export product of the past and steak was the byproduct in the past because refrigeration wasn't a thing. Could you believe that a prized steak and bbq ribs was merely a byproduct of leather production to be burned if not consumed in a timely manner. Just an overall fascinating site that took us through the ages of the location from a ranch to a lived in two story adobe home. Would definitely recommend visiting and picking up a passport booklet so you can learn about other historic sites located in socal to learn more about the history of this land we call home!

    Looking for a place to explore and free? Come here! Our plan was to go CSULB Japanese Garden but required reservation and we're not prepared for a last minute spot. Rancho Los Cerritos is perfect to spent our afternoon after lunch. Traveling back in time to 1800s. Love historical site.

    Jacqueline made my experience here awesome. I've lived in Long Beach for a while and had heard about this place and finally made it a point to visit. It's beautiful and a great peace of Long Beach history. Perfect place to have a party or event and parking is free! Big thanks to volunteer Jacqueline, a volunteer who gave my group and me a VIP experience!

    I was looking for a place that was free & to explore during a Sunday afternoon. I came on yelp & this place came up in my search. I signed up to visit from 1 to 2 PM on a Sunday. After entering the Visitor Center, I checked in with the hostess. I chose the self-guided tour. I visited the California Native Garden & the Adobe house & both were beautiful. The path through the gardens to the adobe house was like a little maze. Entrance is free with reservations. This was a good experience & learning about the historical site.

    Water Tower

    I stopped in this weekend to just unwind and walk the grounds as I made some decisions and was so glad I chose this place to do so. I was unable to do the inside tour but a really sweet docent pointed out many points about the house and I was able to look into many of the rooms which really allows you to get a sense of former ranch life in California. Next to the entrance of the home is a cluster of orchard trees and in the middle of those is a winding pathway that leads to the back of the house. It was prettier than I was expecting and in the middle of it all is a giant Moretown Fig tree; just like the famous one in Santa Barbara. All around the tree are winding tree covered pathways and places to sit. In one corner is an old water tower that really shows the age of the place; it's beautiful in a rustic and worn way. On top of it all it is free. I know they host venues so I would encourage anyone interested in a good location to inquire but i can only truly recommend the experience I had. I was raised here in SoCal so love local history so anyone who would say the same would love this place or anyone looking to see anything beautiful. I see it as a botanical garden in a sort of way although understand why it would not be classified as such.

    My husband and I got married at Rancho Los Cerritos this spring, and I cannot begin to describe how perfect this was as a venue. It is absolutely stunning - our photographer loved it, because every single corner of the grounds is a gorgeous backdrop for wedding photos. Mallory, who manages their events, is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to work with. The front garden was a beautiful and peaceful place to have a ceremony. Having our reception and dance floor under the majestic tree in the back garden was so special - we even got a painting made of the tree so we can always remember how beautiful it was. We loved knowing the money we had set aside for a venue was supporting a nonprofit that focuses so much on the local community. This is a really special place, and it makes me so happy to know that it's a museum that we can visit throughout the years of our marriage!

    Very relaxing location to meander through history. The area is relatively small but great for the size. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the Rancho history. Great place for a hike with family.

However, we wanted to go to see the location since it was so beautiful - even if we couldn't get married there, it would be a cool experience to get to see such a historical location. To our absolute surprise, we met with Anthony Barr and not only was the location affordable, he was willing to work with us on absolutely EVERYTHING on our list. With Anthony's help, we not only had a historic and gorgeous location (which included a bridal area and space for our whole party), but he helped us to find all of our vendors, negotiated with various vendors on our behalf at times, took care of our decor requests... I could go on. I honestly don't know how I would have managed the wedding procedure without the help Anthony gave, but we also just adored the Bembridge property. Picturesque, cozy - we are so grateful.

As odd as it sounds here he proudly stands in California! Abraham Lincoln has to be my all-time favorite President, John F. Kennedy in second. So what's the story behind Abe creeping in SoCal? First, check this out about my two all-time favorite presidents... * Both presidents were elected to Congress in '46 (1846; 1946). * Both were elected to the U.S. presidency in '60 (1860; 1960). * "Lincoln" and "Kennedy" each have 7 letters. * Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. * Both wives lost a child while living in the White House. * Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. * Both were shot in the head. * Lincoln's secretary, "Kennedy", warned him not to go to the theatre. Kennedy's secretary, "Lincoln", warned him not to go to Dallas. * Both were assassinated by Southerners. * Both were succeeded by Southerners. * Both successors were named "Johnson". * Both successors were born in '08 (1809; 1909). * Both assassins, John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, were born in '39 (1839; 1939). * Both assassins were known by their three names. * Each assassin's name is composed of fifteen letters. * Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a warehouse; Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a theater. * Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. Eerie prophecies or just coincidence? It's for you to decide. But one thing is certain is Abraham Lincoln stood nearly 6' 5" tall which made him the tallest president in American history. Tho his top hat made him look more like 10-feet tall and what's up with that stylish hipster beard? Damn cool! To see the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Statue today head towards the entrance of the Long Beach Downtown Library on Pacific Ave. So yes, you might have to hop over crackheads and the less fortunate to see him, but let's not forget the meaning of the Gettysburg Address... "all men are created equal". The statue is a century old replica of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' "Standing Lincoln," in Chicago. The Long Beach Lincoln was revealed at Lincoln Park in 1915 where he stood for six decades. Later finding a home on Pacific Ave. where he currently stands. In the end, it's an interesting site for those into history or the curious. Abe looks almost misplaced in Long Beach, but it's refreshing to know how he continues to inspire so many. I cringe about today's politics. In my eyes something spiritual resonated about this amazing man...

Here is a great video of the entire bridge bicycle and walking path: https://youtu.be/XbAcOHqhEdw Speakers included a representative from the United States Department of Transportation, Caltrans, the Congressional Representative from Long Beach, and many Long Beach City officials. Of course, the family of late Mark Bixby was there. Mr. Bixby was instrumental in getting this path built years ago when it was in the planning stages.

    A few weeks ago, I went on this pathway for the first time and got an incredible work out. The…read morepathway itself is a little under 3 miles long but there were some rolling like hills on it which helped me to get a much better cardio workout. It's not the most beautiful bridge that I have ever been on, but it does allow you to experience some of the Long Beach atmosphere and I have always liked Long Beach a lot. The next time I am in Long Beach I will definitely go back to the pathway again.

    I've lived in Long Beach for 372 days. While living here I was trying to work with the city to put…read morein an apothecary park for its citizens. Not only did your city, the mayor, the council members do nothing to work with me, after a year of not returning calls, not taking any meetings in the Mayor's Office, they divided that my flowers are a problem. This is what I had done. I had taken a piece of land that was supposed to have a sidewalk put in. The city of Long Beach didn't put anything in. The businesses had been begging the city to put in a side walk because it had become an eyesore. People dumped used oil, paint and trash on this land regularly. The land was also infested with moles leaving holes and tunnels making it very dangerous to walk on the land because you regularly stepped to holes and twisting your ankle. The owners had even offered to pay for the sidewalk themselves. The city refused. So, I put in a park to clean up the toxic chemicals, as in eatable plants that are healthy for you and the City of Long Beach thinks this is a really bad idea.... Don't move here. Don't live here. The mayor and the city council aren't working in your interest. They only care about things that make them look good. God forbid, a homeless person be allowed to make your community better. And the park is installed at the corner of 14th Street and Harbor.
