Old Town Irvine was designated a California Historical Landmark on November 11, 1991. Today, the place stands as a testimony to the vibrant agricultural history of what has become one of California's most profoundly industrialized counties. This historical place began in 1887 with the arrival of the AT and SF RR. James Irvine chooses this site as the shipping center for crops grown on the Irvine Ranch due to its high elevation. The 125,000 acres Irvine Ranch, Old Town Irvine's distribution and housing center, was planned to expand as a bean and grain storage warehouse over the years. These buildings have been rehabilitated for commercial uses, and their exteriors have been painstakingly preserved.

OLD TOWN IRVINE REVIEWS
Old vintage buildings worth making a short visit just to see what used to be an agricultural icon way back when. We consistently stay at the La Quinta Inn there because the prices are so great & they're pet friendly. We like that they made the most of the original soy bean silos by converting them into hotel rooms instead of tearing everything down. Staying at that hotel is kinda like an interesting museum visit. We also enjoy the nearby Knowlwood restaurant that has a great Cobb salad & delicious classic hamburgers.
Knowlwood is a cool restaurant and so is the Denny's here. Fine place to take pictures. There is a huge bird nest in the tower sign.
Great as always. Cleaning staff is friendly and nice. Front desk staff is professional and courteous even in the middle of the night.

Northwood Gratitude and Honor Memorial is the first lasting memorial to honor every American fallen service member in Iraq and Afghanistan for their sacrifice in service to their country. The memorial's name comes from US DoD casualty records for Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation New Dawn. It is a nonprofit entity formed by a non-partisan grassroots group and provides free name rubbings to the families and friends of the fallen heroes. Each year neighbors gathered to reconstruct the temporary memorial, decorate the posts displaying the names, and conduct ceremonies on a memorial day, July 5th, and veterans day.

NORTHWOOD GRATITUDE AND HONOR MEMORIAL REVIEWS
This is a great park. Well maintained but it is sad that we need to have such a place and you hope that no more names will need to be added to the list of people who have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our safety and way of life. May we always remember and honor our servicemen.
This memorial started during the Iraq War as an informal group of individual flags and crosses for each called service member. In the end, it was converted into a permanent memorial with each name engraved on multiple columns. Makes me proud every time I walk by.
This is a wonderful memorial in a beautiful park in Northwood. There is a playground for the kids as well as picnic tables. The setting is idyllic and a great way to pass a summer afternoon.

HERITAGE PARK REGIONAL LIBRARY REVIEWS
Staff are extremely friendly and helpful during the curb side pickup. They also choose additional books for my daughters when I come to pickup my hold items It is a great surprise for the kids to see additional books which they never put on hold. Some of the books choose by the librarians are very good and we may never read those if they are not selected by them Highly recommended. We use the library more frequently than before the pandemic.
Heritage park regional library is the best place for me and my kids, they have fun learning new information, spend their time with friend, and the library is the best place during rainy or sunny climate.
Lots of movies, music, manga, and novels to rent. Very friendly and accommodating staff. The bookstore next door is also very good for inexpensive books.
