About this place

Rancho La Patera & Stow House is a historic ranch site run by the Goleta Valley Historical Society, preserving the early 1900s home and grounds of the pioneering Stow family. Kids can visit Sundays at the Ranch from 11am to 2pm for free, when there are barn animals, outdoor play, and tractor rides. The museum, store, and visitors center are open Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4pm, with tours on other days available by prior arrangement. Families can wander the gardens and preserved historic buildings, learning about Goleta Valley's agricultural history, and the museum store sells local gifts, history books, and old-fashioned toys.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
