• Heritage House
  

  Located on historic Magnolia Avenue, the Heritage House is a restored Queen Anne Victorian home. The house was originally built for Mrs. Catharine Bettner in 1891 and represents a typical orange grower’s home when the Riverside citrus industry boomed. Even if you are unable to tour the house in person, you can visit the house online through the Heritage House Virtual Tour.

• Plant Communities of Riverside County
  

  Riverside County possesses a remarkable diversity of plants and plant communities, which is in large part due to the extremes of weather and topography that range across its length, from east to west. To become familiar with the geography of this large county, and ultimately with its natural and cultural history, is to become familiar with the distribution of these plant communities. Visit the online exhibit to learn more about these diverse plant communities.
