Backyard History: A Visit to Heritage Hill Historical Park (photos)

[Morrigoon]

Outside view of the school



And the church



Back out near the front gate, there is a slice of an old oak tree, and in front of it. a Time Capsule place here in 1991 (when Lake Forest became a city)





This is a little butterfly-attracting garden and path put in by scouts.



They have a little wedding gazebo area as well. Used to have grass, but either they have trouble growing it, or the bunnies ate the grass.



Here's a reproduction of a Native American settlement. This would house about 10 people



There's a shed-type structure that houses a kind of visitors' center in the front (includes this buggy and a rotating exhibit of local artifacts, currently marine fossils recovered from the Serrano Creek after El Nino)



..And a library in the back, only open one Saturday a month or by appointment





Oh and there's a gas pump that the Bennetts used to have behind their house



A frelling HUGE wagon... how on earth did you get into the driver's seat of these things?



Hitching post in front of the Serrano Adobe



More to come...
