Greetings from Moulton Ranch!

We look forward to seeing you in 2021.
We will be opening new exhibits and sharing the history of Orange County's pioneers. We hope that you will be able to join us as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Aliso Viejo and the 30th anniversary of Laguna Hills. These cities were incorporated from the nearly 22,000 acres that encompassed the L. F. Moulton & Co. enterprise. We will add more content to our website to showcase these histories along with our other partners.

The site will feature hands-on community educational programs on sustainable farming operations and will provide an opportunity for onsite STEM, biological science, horticultural and urban educational classes and community programs, farm-to-table dinners and special events. It will showcase Orange County’s development – from its agricultural roots to becoming the world’s 45th largest economy – and highlights the agricultural history of the United States.
