Step back in time and visit The Mother Colony House located in the Anaheim Colony Historic District and one of the first buildings ever constructed in the area dating back from 1857. It is officially classified as an American Territorial Style Cottage built of redwood, with three small rooms, a single gable roof and a flaring eave which fully covers the front porch. George Hansen, a Los Angeles surveyor who built this house for his own home and office, is known today as the "Father of Anaheim.” The Mother Colony House is the oldest museum in Orange County and was designated as a State Historical Landmark. Since then it has been proudly named "A Symbol of Anaheim's Heritage," a name it has rightfully earned.
