The Rancho Los Alamitos Foundation endorses and supports the Framework for Reconciliation adopted by the City of Long Beach on June 23, 2020. The RLA Foundation commits to supporting and modeling an inclusive, equitable, and diverse organization and community. Rancho Los Alamitos is located within Bixby Hill and accessed through the residential security gate at Anaheim and Palo Verde. Admission to

and parking at Rancho Los Alamitos is free-of-charge. Special events that require reservations and have an admission fee are listed on our website. Rancho Los Alamitos is twice listed on the National Register of Historic Places - once as the sacred Tongva village of Povuu’ngna, the traditional birthplace of the native people of the Los Angeles Basin, and, second, for the evolution of its significant historic landscape over time. The site includes traces of the ancestral village, a ranch house with a central core of adobe ca.1800, four acres of lush historic gardens developed during the 1920s and 1930s, and the restored working ranch barnyard of the early-mid 20th century. With the opening of the Rancho Center, the film, new exhibits, and room environments feature the landscape, the people and the place over time and within the context of the development of the region and the state. This exceptional site reveals the early Tongva presence, the Spanish and Mexican periods, the ranching and farming era, and the imprint of 20th-century development. A quintessential place for people to experience the living story of southern California, Rancho Los Alamitos is a microcosm of the region, past to present.

Preston, our beloved Shire horse, recently experienced a serious health emergency that required him to be transported to a specialized equine hospital. He remains under close professional care and will need to stay off-site as he continues his recovery.

Rancho Los Alamitos is committed to providing Preston with the very best care possible. As you can imagine, the costs associated with this level of emergency veterinary care are significant and continue to grow. We are asking our community to consider making a donation to help support Preston’s care. Every contribution makes a difference and means so much to Preston, our Livestock Team, and all of us at the Rancho.

Last week, we hosted a Garden to Table program with Long Beach Organic. This interactive program focused on food sustainability and community-led food systems. Guests engaged with a pesto and agua fresca cooking demo and a hands-on seed starting activity. Together, everyone enjoyed a meal made by local chefs with locally-sourced ingredients on our Barns Lawn.

🌱 We thank Long Beach Organic for their partnership and empowering us all to grow our own food.
