| In 1875, 3,000 lemon trees were planted in the first commercial lemon planting in California. Goleta's earliest commercial irrigation also took place on the ranch, and you can still visit "Lake Los Carneros," the pond created by the Stows. Sherman Stow's son, state senator Edgar Whitney Stow, set up a research laboratory at the ranch and developed disease resistant lemon rootstock of great value to local ranchers. The house was occupied by three generations of Stow descendants. Today, Stow House is open for public viewing on Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m. (Tours begin at 2 and 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and on demand on Sundays, with the last tour starting at 3:30 p.m. Special weekday and school tours are available by appointment.) |
