The Garden Grove Historical Society is dedicated to preserving the rich history of Garden Grove. Our mission is to save historical buildings and artifacts for future generations to appreciate.
The Stanley Ranch Museum is a two acre property containing the Ware-Stanley House, the Walt Disney Garage, the Garden Grove Post Office, a replica of the original Garden Grove Fire Station and various other buildings. We are a 100% volunteer organization and raise funds through membership dues, grants and from our Barn and Book Sales.
Our next Barn & Book Sale is October 23, 24 & 25th 2025 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We hope to see you there!

Our docent led tours are on the first & third Sundays of the month at 1:30 p.m. The tours start at the General Store (the first building you see when you enter our parking lot).
The tour takes about 2 hours and we go inside 6-7 buildings. No reservation or ticket required. Just arrive about 1:15 for check in.
There is a lot of walking as our property is 2 acres in size. On hot days, a hat is advised as well a bringing your own water bottle.
We have many volunteer opportunities available. There are opportunities to volunteer in our gardens, or to help price and store Barn Sale items. If you enjoy talking about history, volunteering as a docent may be for you. No prior experience is necessary, we will train you. Just come by on a Tuesday or Friday from 9 a.
