School Tour Information
Rancho
Camulos is a great place to bring your class to learn about California
history. We describe the people who lived at Camulos, starting with the
Native Americans, then the Californio del Valle family and later the
Rubel family who purchased Camulos in 1924. Camulos is the "Home
of Ramona" and they will learn about how Helen Hunt Jackson's famous
novel changed California forever.
The children will experience Camulos by visiting the 1853 adobe, the
chapel, the fountain, the schoolhouse and the beautiful grounds.
They will learn how food was prepared in the rancho era, perform in a
play in
the schoolhouse, and make a real adobe brick like the bricks used to
build the main adobe house.
After your tour, your class is welcome to have their lunch on our
grounds and use our Gift Shop where items can be purchased for
25 cents
and up.
