Homestead Museum

The Homestead Museum is a six-acre site that was once part of the nearly 49,000-acre Rancho La Puente. The Museum provides a unique way to look at Southern California's history from the time that California was part of Mexico through the Roaring Twenties. The Museum features the Workman House, a Victorian-era country house constructed around an 1840s adobe; La Casa Nueva, a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival mansion noted for its architectural crafts; and El Campo Santo, one of the oldest private cemeteries in the region. The museum also has a Gallery with a small exhibit space. Tours of the houses are guided, while tours of El Campo Santo and the Gallery are self-guided.
