Reading about history is one way to familiarize yourself with the past's most significant moments, but being a part of it will make even more of a lasting impression. That's what you'll experience when you visit the Jensen Alvarado Ranch just outside of Riverside. Upon your arrival, you will encounter costumed interpreters who will guide you through vivid demonstrations of what life was like on a ranch in the late 19th century. You will be a part of the action as you find yourself helping out with such daily farm duties as churning butter or feeding the animals. You can also learn about how much of a challenge farming was back then when you visit the ranch museum that is also located here. This is where you will have a chance to see attractions like antique farm equipment as well as artifacts from the ranch's past.

You never know where the next star of stage or screen will come from. That's what makes the Riverside Children's Theatre such a truly magical place. This entertainment organization has been the leader in fostering both theatrical instruction and performances of the area's most talented young thespians since 1957. This acting school also regularly presents various stage productions, plays, musicals and other opportunities for budding performers to gain valuable experience on the stage.

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.

Show your significant other that you have a uniquely romantic view of your relationship when you take her to the Riverside Art Museum. This is an ideal place to meet and take in all the exceptional art that is displayed here. From various media to different themes, this is where the two of you will enjoy strolling from one eye-catching exhibit to the next. There's also a gift shop to stop into before you depart, and by picking up an art print or a souvenir, you'll demonstrate how much your sweetheart means to you, and how your love is a constant work in progress.
