Hello everyone! This is a friendly reminder that any of these fun places we may visit, we are a guest at. Please treat both businesses and trails with the utmost respect. We here at Hidden San Diego follow the 'Leave no Trace' mantra, meaning whatever you bring with you comes back with you. If you see trash on a trail, please do your part to help remove it. Remember, we are not picking up trash from another person but instead cleaning up for Mother Nature. Happy adventures!
The Heritage Ranch is home to the San Dieguito Heritage Museum which was founded in 1988. The museum’s goal is to help preserve the history of Leucadia, Encinitas, Olivenhain, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe.
You will get the opportunity to explore several historic homesteads, view ancient artifacts from the Kumeyaay and see old belongings once owned by early pioneers.
The Heritage Ranch is open for private event rentals such as birthday parties and weddings!
I was floored to learn this lovely museum was right next door to the San Diego Botanic Garden, which I have visited numerous times! For anyone that is into the local history or just is in the mood for some old timey vibes, this is a great place to visit.
The set-up is adorable and visiting the homes really makes you feel as if you’ve been transported back 100 years!
