Come and explore a hidden treasure like no other in Greater Los Angeles. Located in the heart of a former Mexican rancho, the Homestead Museum's houses, cemetery, gardens, and stories will surprise you from start to finish.

The museum invites visitors to explore what life was like in this region from the days of the Mexican ranchos to the Roaring Twenties. The museum is owned and funded by the City of Industry and managed by Historical Resources, Inc.

The Homestead Museum acknowledges that it is situated on part of the traditional, ancestral, and unceded Gabrieleño/Tongva/Kizh land. We recognize the Indigenous peoples of this territory as the traditional stewards and pay our respects to Indigenous peoples, their ancestors, elders, relatives, and relations, past, present, and emerging.
