Los Cerritos Ranch House, also known as Rancho Los Cerritos or Casa de los Cerritos, in Long Beach, California, was “the largest and most impressive adobe residence erected in southern California during the Mexican period”. Los Cerritos means “the little hills” in English. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970. Rancho Los Cerritos Historic Site was converted into, and remains, a public museum operated by the Rancho Los Cerritos Foundation in partnership with the City of Long Beach. It is open for tours, programs and events on Wednesdays through Sundays. The house is furnished in a Victorian fashion as it would have been when Jotham Bixby raised his family there in the 1870s. There is a visitor center with exhibits about the site’s history from Native American times to the present. A formal Italian garden includes orange and cypress trees planted by Temple. www.rancholoscerritos.org/
