Los Cerritos Ranch House
Los Cerritos Ranch House, Adobe museum in Long Beach, United States
The Rancho Los Cerritos Museum features a two-story adobe structure with period furnishings from the 1860s through 1880s on landscaped grounds spanning 4.7 acres.
Built in 1844 by John Temple after his marriage to a Nieto family member, the original single-story ranch building served as a center for sheep farming operations.
The site preserves the heritage of Spanish, Mexican, and American California periods while recognizing the Tongva and Gabrielino peoples as traditional land caretakers.
Located at 4600 Virginia Road, the museum welcomes visitors Wednesday through Sunday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, offering free guided tours of both house and gardens.
The research library and archives maintain extensive documentation about regional development, providing public access to historical resources about Southern California.
