About the Hathaway Ranch Museum
The Hathaway Ranch Museum, located at 11901 Florence Avenue in Santa Fe Springs, California, is a unique institution dedicated to preserving the early twentieth century farming, ranching, and oil culture of Fulton Wells. This non-profit museum showcases a wide variety of artifacts, machinery, photographs, and ephemera from that time period on the five-acre former Hathaway Home Ranch property. Visitors can experience hands-on and immersive exhibits that pay tribute to the independent and hard-working spirit of the early pioneers and settlers of Southern California. Established in 1986 by F. Nadine Hathaway, the museum relies on donations from individuals and organizations, as well as the dedication of volunteers to maintain its collections and provide educational experiences for visitors. Welcome to the Hathaway Ranch & Oil Museum, where history comes to life.

Reviews of Hathaway Ranch Museum
"It look like abandoned or a junkyard, property not taken care . Sorry I do not recommend this location. We drove in and signs are faded so we turn around and left."
"I came her today I had been wanting to come for several months but didn’t have the chance to. There’s a lot to see! I was the only one there so the person in charge asked if I wanted to walk around on my own or have him give me a tour so I went with him which was better. There’s two houses. The smaller one anyone can go into but the bigger one isn’t open to the public normally but Alfonso the guide let me go in and look around anyway. There’s a watchtower on the roof and he showed me that too. They’re a gray and white cat that followed us around the whole time. Cool place to visit at least once"
"A great museum, they'd excellent tour guides that are very knowledgeable on historical facts about the City of Santa Fe Springs. It's a great idea to visit Heritage Park after seeing the museum."
"I donated my time at the museum. It's a great place to learn the history about the place and area around it. The curator of the place is very knowledgeable of the place and family. Plus he gives you information of the city's surrounding the museum house. You have to see the one of a kind equipment they have in the yard. Take your kids for a great day of discovery."
"I visited the Hathaway Museum with my 4 year old. We had some other errands to run in the Santa Fe Springs area, and saw this was nearby on our Passport2History Museum Program. The grounds are large and there is a lot to see. Watch for the sign as I drove by it the first time. It's a little confusing where to park, as when I went in I thought just the house on the left was the museum, but the entire grounds are the museums, so you can park anywhere. Just watch out for the chickens, roosters and cats running around! The docent was already mid tour, so another staff member caught us up to him. Full disclosure... by this time in the day, my toddler was in a bit of a mood, so he wasn't in the best place for a tour. The first staff member had told us there they had 25 baby goats, so my son was eager to get to that part of the tour. Our docent was very kind and knowledgable and gave a very detailed tour. It was a bit too detailed for my son's speed, so we had to cut it kind of short, but if you're intro history, I would definitely come back and check this place out because there is a lot to see! He said we only caught about a third of the place. There is a lot of cool oil stuff in the big mental oil tower which is now part of the museum. We didn't make it to the house across the street that I'd LOVE to see! We did get to see all the baby goats though! There is a ton to see here, but make sure you give yourself enough time. I'd go when they open so the kids are a bit more ready for a tour. I wish this were a bit more self guided so we could still see everything but go at our own speedy pace. Our docent while doing his best, wasn't really picking up on the cues that we needed the speedy tour. But if you're adults only, you'll love this! I hope to get back there! You can make a decent day trip out this way from LA. Look up what else is around. There are some cool historic restaurants, other museums, and King Richard's Antique Center, which is supposedly the largest in CA!"
