Jensen Alvarado Historic Ranch and Museum

Ronnie Sal

I visit this Historic House to Day 10/14/2021 and let me tell you! I like it! A lot the house keepers show me the Inside House and is beautiful. , very clean and the history of Cornelius Jensen sailed to San Francisco during the Gold Rush to sell his cargo. In 1854 he settled in Agua Mansa, established a store, and married Mercedes Alvarado, a descendant of a pioneer Californio family. The Jensens purchased this ranch in 1865 and began planting vineyards and orchards. They used local materials to build their house which is of Danish vernacular design. The Jensens made this ranch an important civic, social, business, and agricultural center.

Went on a school field trip here. Our day was packed with activities that kept the kids busy for our entire time there.

We had a great time with my daughter's class field trip. I think our favorite parts were the tortilla, the ice cream and the lovely stories!

I liked it . However it was the Fall Festival and the museum was closed. There were six horses, chickens,and two donkeys we feed carrots to. I really liked walking in the house and the hay ride was a surprise. I would have liked to have more information on the ranch. So that lack of info left me with a 4 star rating. I think more vending both with food choices would have worked. I would have loved to be a tour guide here. It was a nice ranch with an olive grove.
