The Old Mill
El Molino Viejo
Dear Visitors,
The Old Mill Garden will be under renovation starting 10/20/2025. The Diggers Garden Club and the Old Mill Foundation are working in collaboration on a “New” Old Mill garden project. This project is focusing on removing invasive and overgrown plants and replacing them with native and drought-tolerant species.
Our garden and museum will remain open during renovation. Please be advised that the grounds will be undergoing some exciting changes!
El Molino Viejo is an architectural landmark, a fascinating link to the past and a notable California cultural center. Its beautiful gardens are an accredited arboretum and welcome visitors throughout the year and the California Art Club Gallery features paintings of California scenes that change multiple times a year.
