Forest Home Farms Historic Park
925-973-3284
Forest Home Farms is part of the city of San Ramon Parks and Community Services Department and the San Ramon Historic Foundation.
In 1997 it was donated to the city by Ruth Quayle Boone, wife of Travis Moore Boone, to be used as a municipal historic park. In addition to the Boone home structures, the farm also features the David Glass House, a Victorian Italianate style home built in 1877. The restored Glass House can be toured the second Saturday of every month, from 10am to 2pm. It is also open during special events.
Tours of the historic park take place on the second Saturday of each month and include activities such as washing clothes, making lemonade, farm chores, old-fashioned games, an antique tractor display and a special look at the San Ramon Sheep Coop. For more information about membership and volunteer opportunities please see the San Ramon Historic Foundation website.
