Each year, Rancho Camulos Museum hosts more than 1,500 school children to learn about what life was like living on a real California Rancho 170 years ago. Students visit the rancho’s main adobe home and make their own adobe brick. They learn about how the rancho was self-sustaining in terms of food and make a corn tortilla. They also visit other places on the property such as the chapel, carriage house, and the Blacksmith exhibit.

Guided public tours of the grounds and adobe buildings are offered Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Last tour starts at 3 p.m. No reservations are needed for Sunday tours.

Cost: $10 per person.

Explore the 1853 main adobe, chapel, winery exterior, schoolhouse, and the beautiful rose garden while discovering the stories of the Del Valle and Rubel families. Also learn how Helen Hunt Jackson’s novel Ramona, inspired by her visit to Camulos, earned the rancho the title “Home of Ramona” and helped shape California’s cultural landscape.

We are happy to arrange private tours for groups, family gatherings, and special occasions. Call 805-521-1501 or email us with your preferred date, time, and number of guests to arrange a private tour.
