Appropriately, the museum that tells this very sweet story of the rise of the industry is located outside in a specially designed open-air museum. See all kinds of interesting exhibits and attractions that include numerous displays of vintage farm equipment.
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.
