John Rains House

Had such a wonderful tour here today! Judy is the sweetest lady. She gave me and my 2 sons a tour of the John Rains house and it was so nice. She was very kind to my boys even though they were very curious and wanted to touch everything! I have driven by SO many times and always wanted to stop and check it out and take a tour and I finally got around to it. The grounds are so beautiful and there is so much history. Judy is very knowledgeable and informative. I will definitely be back! And I would recommend this historical tour to anyone who lives here/nearby or passing though/visiting! Thank you Judy.

Very wonderful historic place in Rancho Cucamonga built in the early 1860s. The Rains House was part of a rancho that was the site of a large and one of the oldest wineries in California. The house has a beautiful interior and an amazing courtyard. The caretaker name Judy is a wealth of knowledge and very nice. $5.00 is the price for a regular adult and you are given a tour of the inside which contains furniture, tools, utensils, photos, and other historical artifacts of the time. If you are really into local history, then you will love this place. It's one of those places you can immerse yourself back in time at a time when the land was not so cluttered with traffic, roads, and development as we see today. There is plenty of parking and there are public restrooms on site. Give yourself plenty of time to take in all the history this place has to offer.

It's a beautiful house with an amassing history. Our docent, Judith, was VERY well informed on not only the history of the home, but the entire history of Rancho Cucamonga. She sat with my sister, mom, and I and talked with us all about the local history. Honestly I might go back just for her lol. Also the grounds are BEAUTIFUL!
