General Info

he Corona Foothill Lemon Company, which was established June 15, 1911, became the largest lemon ranch in all of California and one of the longest running. It was the reason for a time that Corona became well known as the “Lemon Capital of the World.” Corona Heritage Park & Museum is made up of the 5-acre heart of the 2,000 acres of lemon groves that once stood here. Corona Heritage Park & Museum is not only unique to Corona, it’s unique in its success as a 100% volunteer non-profit organization that doesn’t rely on your tax dollars. The 21-member board of directors and 400+ general membership sustains the Corona Heritage Foundation in its thriving artistic and cultural development, and daily operations of the park and museum. Which, by the way, has operated in the black five-days-a-week since opening in December of 2000. The park is a community center for field trips, discovery and reflection, historic awareness, research and resources, nature, horticulture and gardening, art galleries, studios and classes, programs for exercise, weight-loss and addictions, secular, religious and cultural events, weddings, receptions, and community gatherings. Corona Heritage Park and Museum has become a one-of-a-kind facility that is unusual to come across, useful to so much of the community, respectfully protecting the history, and continuing towards ambitious goals for the future. Admission is free.
