Newland House & Museum

The restored home of Huntington Beach pioneers, Mr. &
Mrs. W.T. Newland is an 1898 Victorian farmhouse standing on high ground
overlooking what was once known as the Santa Ana Gap, a marshy lowland between
Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa. William and Mary Newland built the house and
lived in it for over fifty years.
Midwesterners like the Newlands, who were from Illinois, were
attracted to California during the "Boom of the Eighties," when Los
Angeles experienced phenomenal growth. Increased opportunities for farming as
huge ranchos were subdivided, reduced railroad fares because of a rivalry
between Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroads and an intensive publicity
campaign by Real Estate developers were contributing factors to the migrations.
The Newlands purchased the mesa now known as Newland Center
around 1897. Located at Beach Boulevard and Adams Avenue in Huntington Beach,
the house pictured above was their home. The hill top location offers a stunning
view of Huntington Beach.
Hours: Saturday
& Sunday Noon - 4 PM, except holidays. Small donation requested.
