La Casa Nueva is turning 100! Check out these certificates we received from the State Senate in recognition of this milestone.
Free; tour sizes are limited and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
There's maintenance going on at the Homestead! This historic arch needed some help to stay standing, so we brought in some experts to get it back into shape.

Check out this shot of our fountain from Song of the Gringo compared to a photo of our fountain today. Did you know our fountain supposedly contains the millstones from Workman's mill?
Happy #nationalswimmingpoolday ! The "pool" featured in this photograph was actually a reservoir the Temple family used to water walnut trees. It looks like it also made an excellent pool, though. You can also see the Workman House in the background!
