The museum tells the story of the area from its Rancho San Joaquin days through its ownership by the Irvine family and company. Its exhibits include those devoted to cowboy life, cattle ranching and, of all things, lima bean farming as the ranch was once one of the world’s largest producers of the wholesome legume.

This is the nation's first memorial dedicated exclusively to honoring all the American service members who have died in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It was started by local citizens as an annual temporary memorial. The permanent memorial is updated several times during the year to include those who recently died. It is an open air memorial in the Northwood Community Park (aka Castle Park) at the corner of Bryan Avenue and Yale Avenue. Its five sentinel monuments have black granite panels with the engraved names of the fallen in chronological order by the date of their death in the conflicts.

This memorial started during the Iraq War as an informal group of individual flags and crosses for each called service member. At the end it was converted into a permanent memorial with each name engraved on multiple columns. Makes me proud every time I walk by.

Love this library. The staff is so nice and helpful, and the facility is super clean and well maintained. The children's book section is huge, and has everything from classics like Dr. Seuss to books featuring Pixar characters. There are always lots of families and kids there, the sense of community is wonderful. The other day an older boy even offered to read some books to my son, which he was thrilled about. Yay for libraries!!!

Love this park for its artificial pond...there are so many migrate birds at this pond...in the pond there are turtles...used to be carps. There are also three world class swimming pools, tennis court, racketball court, and baskerball court. There are also library, community center, and arts center. Wow! this place has everything!
