Mission Statement
To foster community awareness of early California history, culture, and heritage and the Dominguez family through museum programs and educational resources.
Description
We work will all sorts of volunteers serving many goals on the site. We have two main needs at all times that require volunteers. First, we always seek to recruit docent volunteers to lead tours for the public and schools, help at our various public events throughout the year, and join helpful committees to help us serve the community. The second need we have is for gardening volunteers. We have three major gardens on the site: a rose garden, a cactus garden, and a children's garden. We need volunteers at all times to help cultivate these gardens whether it be helping plant new crops for the children's garden or prune our near 100 year old rose garden.
