Description

Step into the past to an 1844 two-story Spanish-colonial adobe. Rancho Los Cerritos echoes Long Beach’s rich history from a sprawling ranch to a modern, urban society. Now a National, State and Local Historic Landmark, the Rancho offers workshops, lectures, educational programs and tours of the historic ranch house and gardens. The 4.7 acres of landscaped grounds include trees from the mid-19th century, historic roses, exotic vegetation and the old water tower. The site also features a Visitors Center, Museum Gift Shop, California history reference library and picnic area.
