I attended an event as a chaperone with the kids from Micah House, and from the moment you walk in, the Burrage Mansion is stunning. The steps leading up to the home and the beautifully preserved historic house immediately set the tone. The property owner generously hosts events here, and one of the annual events is a Christmas celebration for elementary school kids. He opens up the entire estate for the children to enjoy crafts, a magic show, bounce houses, and even a visit with Santa Claus. There are also two rooms filled with presents where each child gets to choose a gift, which was incredibly special to see. It was such a thoughtful, joyful, and memorable experience for everyone involved. I'm not sure what other events are hosted here, but based on this experience alone, the Burrage Mansion absolutely deserves five stars.

The mansion, built in 1875 and maintained by the Pomona Historical Society, was the home of the one-time "richest man in LA County", Louis Phillips.

Our docent, pictured below, gave us many interesting details and pertinent history of the building. The grounds are lovingly maintained; the building itself could be called a "fixer-upper". It's good to see the work in progress and the building does seem to be in good hands. This tour is very highly recommended.

Odd place, but worth it for people looking to explore new photo spots. It's just a very small section outside. Egyptian hieroglyphics and feeling like you are someplace abroad for a moment.

There were contractors working inside/maintenance work. Nothing to see other than exterior of building. Good photo spot. The U.S. needs to build more unique spots like this or more local museums would be pretty cool. Free public viewing. Good work of art to appreciate.

The Fountain of Life Fountain is a…read moreBeautiful Flowing Water Sculpture with a colorful playful design in the heart of Cathedral City adjacent to Palm Springs. It is located right on Highway 111 & is the Focal Centerpiece of Town Square Park. Both Adults & Kids will find it a place to have some Fun & Relax. The continuous sound of flowing water & the color palate really calms the Soul. There are benches all around so you can sit down & Chill Out. The fountain's design is a spiral motif, which is a symbol of rejuvenation & continuous birth. This artistic fountain's composition also incorporates a recirculating water system. When the desert temperatures hit the over 100 mark & you are looking for an inexpensive way to Cool Off; this is a perfect place to Beat the Heat! This place is picturesque during the day but it really comes to life at night with the colorful lights placed to highlight its artistic features. The Fountain of Life was designed by artist Jennifer Johnson with architect Reuel Young. It was physically built by The House of Stone and Fountains & Landscape Enhancements. The fountain was carved out of pieces out of adoquin stone from the quarry near Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Johnson spent more than a year adorning the fountain with hand cut glass & mosaic tiles. The Fountain of Life Reflects the history & nature of the desert community. There are 3 central columns made of Stone. The big horn sheep, fishes, lizards, tortoises, birds, shells, wildflowers & others, all surround the Sculpture. These are elements that are native to this area from both the present & the past. The rooster and hen represent the importance of family in multi cultures. A Cahuilla basket pays tribute to the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, who gifted the soft surface which helps enhance the safety factor for Kids. The fountain's tri-color soft surface is made of ground recycled tires. Buddy and Beverly Rogers became the fountain's first major donors. There is Free Parking in the area & there are shops, eateries, statues, & The Mary Pickford Movie Theater ( a huge film actress from the 1920s) all in the same location. Every November this area is the host where The Hot Air Balloon Festival takes place. Hot Air Balloons from around the country come to decorate the desert skies with Light, Music, Food & some Paid & Free Festivities too. If you are in the Cathedral City/ Palm Springs Area be sure to check it out! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really rich to have The Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've Been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like A King On A Limited Budget!
