About the Venue:
Rancho La Patera refers to the large 19th-century ranch in the Goleta Valley, and its historic centerpiece is the Stow House, built around 1872–1873 by Sherman P. Stow. It served as the headquarters of Rancho La Patera and remains known today as the Stow House museum and event venue .
• The property was part of a more than‑1,000‑acre tract purchased in 1871 and later turned into a productive farm, particularly for lemons, nuts, and other orchards.
• The Stow House is now preserved by the Goleta Valley Historical Society and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .
