Patrick Ranch Museum

The Patrick Ranch Museum, located on a picturesque 28 acres between Chico and Durham, is dedicated to enhancing the understanding and appreciation of the region's rich agricultural heritage. Home to the historic 1877 Glenwood Farmhouse and a variety of artifacts, the museum features rotating exhibits and interpretive displays that showcase the legacy of Hester Patrick and her family. Since its opening to the public in 2010, the museum has evolved to include educational programs and volunteer opportunities, all aimed at preserving and promoting the area's history. Managed by the Far West Heritage Association, the Patrick Ranch Museum is a vital resource for those interested in agricultural history and community heritage. Generated from the website
