Historic Rancho Los Alamitos and Gardens is a place to explore, photograph and enjoy. The Ranch House is one of the area's oldest homes. From the adobe to the comfortable ranch house, the dwelling evolved over two centuries to become the hospitable home of the Bixbys, its last occupants and one of the region's pioneer ranching families.
