The Western Sonoma County Historical Society operates the West County Museum in Sebastopol, where visitors explore local history through exhibits and archives including newspapers, a history library, and video library. The organization also maintains the Luther Burbank Gold Ridge Experiment Farm, where guests take self-guided tours along marked trails or join docent-led tours by appointment. The farm features Burbank's historic cottage with exhibits about his agricultural work, blooming flowers and trees throughout the seasons, and a gift shop selling heirloom tomato plants, jams, and jellies made from farm fruits like quince, guava, and rhubarb. Monthly walking tours of Sebastopol Memorial Lawn explore local stories and cemetery history. The farm hosts a weekly plant sale on Wednesday mornings and special events like the Gold Ridge Farm Gets Wormy program, where visitors learn about composting with worms and purchase supplies. A visit suits history enthusiasts and gardeners interested in regional heritage and horticultural innovation in Sebastopol, California.
Hours: Thursday -- Sunday 1 to 4 pm
