Step back to Christmas 1850 at Rancho Los Cerritos cattle ranch and explore holiday traditions and life in early California with the Temples,
their guests and ranch workers.
A costumed docent will lead you through the adobe house by lamplight where you can compare today's traditions with yesterday's by learning about 19th century holiday festivities, social attractions, economic viewpoints, and the changing landscape of the Los Angeles region.
The 162-year-old adobe house will come to life with the sights and sounds of holidays past, including Christmas greenery and decorations authentic to the period.
After the tour, enjoy shopping, live holiday music and warm refreshments under a canopy of historic trees.
Don't miss a chance to experience this magical event!
