The Hathaway Ranch Museum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Santa Fe Springs, California, dedicated to preserving the rich history of early twentieth-century farming, ranching, and oil culture in the region. With an extensive collection of machinery, photographs, and everyday artifacts, the museum offers immersive exhibits and tours that pay homage to the hard-working pioneers and settlers of Southern California.
Established in 1986 by F. Nadine Hathaway, the Hathaway Ranch Museum relies on donations from individuals and organizations, as well as the dedicated efforts of volunteers, to maintain its five-acre site, which was once the Hathaway Home Ranch. Through its exhibits and educational programs, the museum provides visitors with a hands-on experience that showcases the independent spirit and resilience of the early residents of Fulton Wells, later known as Santa Fe Springs.
