On November 7, the California State Historical Resources Commission will consider Bumann Ranch in Encinitas for the National Register of Historic Places, along with other resources throughout the state. Find the agenda HERE.
Bumann Ranch is being nominated as a district consisting of the remaining historic features of a small ranch established in 1886. Of the original 160-acre homestead, 10 acres survive. One of the last remaining, still-active homestead ranches in San Diego County, Bumann Ranch is associated with the exploration and settlement of the Encinitas area by German immigrants via the Olivenhain Colony. The buildings and machinery and other contents are entirely original and unchanged. Three generations of the family, which still owns and lives on the ranch, continued tilling the land via horse-drawn farm equipment until 1965.

The Commission meeting will begin at 9am on November 7 in the City of San Bernardino Multipurpose Room (second floor), 201B North E Street. You can watch the live webcast on the CAL-SPAN network.
