Rancho La Patera & Stow House

The Goleta Valley Historical Society, stewards of Rancho La Patera & Stow House, was named “Non-profit of the Year” by Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce in 2012. We host tours and educational programs as well as various public events, such as the Old Fashioned Fourth of July Celebration, Fiesta Ranchera, Music at the Ranch, and Holiday at the Ranch. The Society is celebrating our city’s quality of life with an exhibit this year, Capturing The Goodland: Picturing The Beauty & History of the Goleta Valley.
