California
Citrus State Historical Park preserves how the Inland Empire
and much of Southern California used to look like. At one
time there were thousands of acres of orange groves planted
across the southland.
The smell of orange blossoms filled the air there was a
sea of green orange trees stretching into the horizon. Today
the tree haves been replaced by housing tracts and shopping
malls and the few remaining farmers are replacing oranges
with more profitable crops.
A visit to the California Citrus State Historical Park is
a refreshing look into the way it used to be in Southern
California. The park has almost 400 acres, with about 200
acres planted with orange trees. There is an excellent visitors
center with displays and exhibits on the significance of
the citrus industry as well as a gift shop. California Citrus
Park has plenty of places for a family or group picnic.
The Sunkist Center, set in citrus groves and rose gardens
next to a courtyard and gazebo, is available for weddings,
reunions, special events and meetings. California Citrus
Park is a fun and educational place to visit that the whole
family should enjoy. |
