The Riverside Heritage House is a place where the area's history and agricultural significance are celebrated in a most dramatic way. The house itself is an impressive example of 19th century Victorian style, an architectural design that was popular with homes of the period. The home stands on 1.3 acres of citrus groves, and this historical attraction is meant to represent the significance and contributions of orange growers during the Golden Age of citrus horticulture.
Riverside's Mission Inn dates back to 1903 and stands as one of the city's greatest assets. The structure features various architectural styles that all complement each other to work to create a stunningly beautiful landmark. The museum portion of the inn features exhibits and attractions that are related to the hotel's history and founder as well as vintage photos of the area and other interesting pieces. There is also a gift shop on site that features souvenirs like t-shirts and mugs as well as a few surprises like exquisite hand crafted bells.
