Shadelands Ranch, Colonial Revival farm in Walnut Creek, United States.
The Shadelands Ranch Museum building features curved glass bay windows, classic white columns, and a hand-crafted shingle roof on its exterior structure.
Hiram Penniman established the 500-acre Shadelands Ranch in 1856, developing it into one of the first large-scale fruit and nut farms in California's Ygnacio Valley.
The Walnut Creek Historical Society maintains the property as a museum, displaying original family furnishings and conducting educational programs about local heritage.
Located at 2660 Ygnacio Valley Road, the museum offers guided tours through the 1902 Colonial Revival house and provides resources about regional agricultural development.
The property transferred through multiple generations of the Penniman family until 1970, when the Gospel Foundation granted ownership to the city of Walnut Creek.
