John Rains House - A San Bernardino County Museum Historic Site

Robert M.003

Very wonderful historic place in Rancho Cucamonga built in the early 1860s. The Rains House was part of a rancho that was the site of a large and one of the oldest wineries in California. The house has a beautiful interior and an amazing courtyard. The caretaker name Judy is a wealth of knowledge and very nice. $5.00 is the price for a regular adult and you are given a tour of the inside which contains furniture, tools, utensils, photos, and other historical artifacts of the time. If you are really into local history, then you will love this place. It's one of those places you can immerse yourself back in time at a time when the land was not so cluttered with traffic, roads, and development as we see today. There is plenty of parking and there are public restrooms on site. Give yourself plenty of time to take in all the history this place has to offer.

I love the Old Fashioned Christmas celebrations that were held here on the 1st weekend of December. I'd sell my blood or plasma or both for this great place to have it again! Hasn't had it since December 2017. 😭 ESPECIALLY as Renee Ann Evers, in my shots here, is the BEST of the REST! I miss her like the deserts miss the rain. Please bring back the Old Fashioned Christmas, Rains House.

Judy, the lady who gives tours there is sweetest. She welcomed my family on a very fun tour and gave us lemons from the yard.
