Rancho del Agua Caliente will be open to all 4th grade families for $5 per family on Saturday, May 17.
The rancho once belonged to Fulgencio Higuera during the rancho period of California’s history. It is now owned by the City of Fremont.
Students can see an adobe building—built in 1840—and learn about the hide and tallow trade. They can dip candles, design a brand, form an adobe brick, and brand a cow using paint, felt and authentic brands. Kids can even try their hands at roping the steer! There will be docents onsite, as well as a video about park restoration, and the museum will be open.
The day is great for students both exiting and entering 4th grade, plus their families! Families should feel free to bring a picnic lunch. A donation of $5 per family is greatly appreciated.
The event is hosted by the Washington Township Museum of Local History.
