Southern California Day Trips
Agnes Stanley donated two acres to the Garden Grove Historical Society in 1970. Since then the Garden Grove Historical Society has been saving old historic buildings from destruction and moving them to the ranch. This property is a look into the past of Garden Grove. Even though the ranch is now surrounded by development it doesn't take too much imagination to picture what the city looked like 100 years ago. Near the ranch you can also find Garden Grove's Historic Main Street which consists of buildings that date back to 100 years ago. Just north of main street is the Grove Theater and Festival Amphitheater. Also in the same area is the Village Green, home of the annual Strawberry Festival.
