Oak Glen
Tour Description: Experience the life of an Oak Glen farmer in the late 19th century, through crafts, workshops, and hands-on experience! In 1877, Joe E. Wilshire (“Old Joe”) purchased hundreds of acres of Oak Glen farmland for a saddle, a jug of whiskey, and a chicken. Your family, friends, and students might be surprised to know that much of that farmland is still, well…farmland! In this tour, we explore the crafts and skills of a homestead farm family. Spend a few hours with us, before the era of traffic jams, learning the simple home arts of 19th-century farm life.
This tour is recommended for K -4th grade. All ages welcome. Siblings ages 3 and up will require a ticket.

Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 11 to 7 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 16 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 7 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Inspire Charter, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!
