    Hi, The La Verne Heritage Foundation is one of the Hidden Gems of La Verne. It is tucked away next to Heritage Park, in a residental area of Northern La Verne. It is basically a very old home tucked into what is still a working orange grove. They have pick your own orange sales on Saturdays during Orange Season as well as things like Pumpkin Patch with a little petting zoo at Halloween Time. It is a wonderful place to take the kids. They can roam around and look at all of the historical items they have as well as partake of any activity they happen to have going on at the time. Definately a learning opportunity each time you go. Yes, this place is as good as it gets! Take a look.... you will not be disappointed. Most importantly, it does not cost any money to go in and just look around!

    Cute farm sign on barn.

    We went on a tractor ride through orange orchard, and seats that were not bales of hay was a great perk.

    A Very Merry Merced is a must visit!! Santa was onsite!…read more There was live music during the event. A little treat at the end of the self-guided tour. A person was in every room describing the interiors and such.

    A brief history . In 1858 John Rains and his wife purchased…read more13,000 acres in Rancho Cucamonga for $16,500. They built their home their two years later. The bricks that are on the house today are the original bricks hand made by the masons with red clay found on the property. The home's flat roof was waterproofed with tar that was brought from the brea pits in Orange County. This is considered to be the first house built in Rancho Cucamonga. I've lived in Rancho Cucamonga on and off for the last 10 years and had no idea about the history of this beautiful place. Over the years the Rains House passes through several hands and was vacant for a while. The County of San Bernardino purchased the property in 1971. This house is considered a branch off the County of San Bernardino Museum. The house had been vandalized and needed restoring and furnishings . The women of Casa de Rancho Cucamonga Historical Society raised money through fundraisers and making crafts to sell, to assist in restoring the John Rains Home. They were able to furnish the home with authentic furniture and decoration from the time period. I posted pictures of some of the rooms and furnishings. The Docent Judy gave me a really nice tour. There are restrooms outside and a picnic area if you want to enjoy a nice sack lunch. The property is very pretty with the scenic mountains in the background. There is plenty of free parking and not many visitors. Please support the county and visit. I will definitely be coming back. They also rent out space for gatherings. Someone could plan a nice picturesque wedding here for sure. Hours : 10:00am - 3:00pm Open : Tuesday - Saturday. Closed major holidays Contact # (909) 989-4070
