California Citrus State Historic Park - Open Air Museum and Visitor Center

Open Air Museum and Visitor Center

The design of the park is reminiscent of a 1900s city park, complete with an activity center, interpretive structure, amphitheater, picnic area, and demonstration groves of citrus tree orchards. The land contained within the park still continues to produce high-quality fruits.

The park's visitor center houses a museum about California's citrus industry, and antique citrus grove farm equipment is on display around the park.

In 2002 Huell Howser Productions, in association with KCET/Los Angeles, featured the park in California's Gold; the 29 minute program is available as a VHS videorecording.

    A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.

    The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.
