Location ID: #10195687
We are a1.5-acre property in Encinitas CA. It is a lush, native plant landscaped valley, in the valley of the former Ecke Poinsettia Ranch. Since 2006 we have created a living-history museum preserving the heritage of the region, from Native American times through to the 1960s. It includes the Main Museum building, a Native American Ki’icha or E’waa, a restored 1885 farmhouse with windmill, a carriage house with a 1908 Mail Buggy, a General Store, a 1930s Migrant workers' ranch bunkhouse, a "Mainstreet" Facade, & exhibit hall, and a Texaco Service station facade. Around the property are many well used farming implements, and a 1950s era lifeguard dory.
