Events

Since it was establish in 1882, the Ranch has continually hosted events which mark a range of occasions. These events have brought people of the community together to enjoy conversation, games, food, drink, and traditions. The unique setting and natural beauty of the Ranch has served as the ideal backdrop for these gatherings. As we look to the future, we aim to continue this practice and build upon recent undertakings of recognizing historic eras and our agricultural heritage, hosting family get-togethers, and myriad other athletic, cultural and ethnic celebrations.

Historic Days at Mahon Ranch

As we have for several years, the Ranch will continue to host this three-day event. During the run area students, and other attendees are presented with authentic encampments and reenactors, in period clothes and using modes of travel which depict the living conditions, cultural traditions and the historical ethnic richness of Elk Grove. The event is climaxed each day by a thunderous volley of cannon fire.
