This excursion stands out for its focus on Kearney Mansion, a structure which maintains around 70 percent of its original features since its inception in 1903, commissioned by Martin Theodore Kearney. This tour not only sheds light on Kearney, but also places emphasis on the mansion’s architecture, tales of the families who resided and worked on the Fruit Vale Estate (Kearney Park) and provides a breathtaking view of the grounds. The mansion and gallery are nestled within Kearney Park, a beautiful location brimming with palm trees. The park further possesses an enchanting olive grove trail, a disc golf course, and historical sites like the Tea House, Ice House, Carriage House and Bell Tower which are a part of the mansion.
