Hurst Ranch Historical Center, West Covina

About Hurst Ranch Historical Center

Hurst Ranch Historical Center is a 3-acre farm park in West Covina preserving pioneer history from 1906. Visitors experience hands-on ranch activities including leather-working, butter-making, panning for gold, and decorating pumpkins. The site features a petting zoo and guided property tours showcasing original structures built by the Hurst Family: a barn, engine house, pump house, and home. Field trip programs for kindergarten through fourth grade students offer interactive learning about ranch life through crafts and demonstrations. The Harvest Festival celebrates seasonal traditions on the grounds. Children and school groups participate in the collaborative Harvesting Healthy Habits program, a partnership between Hurst Ranch, West Covina Unified School District, and Kaiser Permanente. The center's shaded groves and gardens provide an authentic rural setting amid the city's development. Some craft activities require a reservation made on-site and are for kids only to be completed on-site.
