Rancho Los Cerritos Historic Site is offering an exciting afternoon of free, good old-fashioned fun for children at Creation Station. Join us for an afternoon of colorful, “rainbow surprises” on Saturday June 4th! Activities will include painting butterflies, creating engravings, and crafting vibrant mosaics, using every color of the rainbow.
This drop-in, historically-themed craft workshop will be from 1-4pm and is perfect for children ages 5-11. Creation Station workshops are held rain or shine. In addition to participating in these hands-on activities, visitors can choose to take a free house tour between 1 and 5pm, or a garden tour at 2:30pm.
Mark your calendars! Creation Station will begin again in October.
About the Rancho:
Built in 1844, the adobe home and grounds of Rancho Los Cerritos echo with the rich history of Spanish, Mexican, and American California and with the families who helped transform Southern California from its ranching beginnings to a modern, urban society. The two-story Monterey-style adobe is primarily furnished to reflect occupants and lifestyles from the 1860s-1880s. The site, a National, State and Long Beach Historic Landmark, also includes historic gardens and a research library and archives. It is operated by the Rancho Los Cerritos Foundation in a public/private partnership with the City of Long Beach. For more information please call (562) 206-2040, or visit the website at www.rancholoscerritos.org and like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/rancholosc.
