Hathaway Ranch & Oil Museum

The Hathaway Ranch & Oil Museum in Santa Fe Springs, California is a museum of five generations of Hathaway family and Southern California history.

The five-acre facility includes hundreds of artifacts and buildings showing the initial usage of the land in farming and ranching, as well as the major transition when oil was discovered in the area.

[3] The property has a 1933 Spanish-Mediterranean-style ranch house on it, as well as another home, in which members of the Hathaway family lived.

The home's architecture and contents represent a time capsule from that era.

[4][5] The numerous outbuildings are a reflection of the needs of a working ranch as well as the oil industry.
