For only $5 you can tour the home of Ole Hanson, the founder of San Clemente. The home's design is a perfect match for the landscape. The rooms are bright and open, the pocket doors in the courtyard let in the sea breeze. Ole's office has great views of the ocean and the pier. There are historical displays of neighboring cities like Venice and Huntington Beach, the history of surfing and Indiginous People history. It was all very informative and interesting. A great way to spend an afternoon.

We stumbled upon this lovely attraction and felt we were entering a magical place. You simply cross the train stop tracks that come off of a normal cut de sac'd street and suddenly you are in a historical area with lovely homes and homes turned businesses. There are mature trees, butterflies, flowers. There are small eateries, a tea house, a coffee shop. There is a park with a historical dwelling that you can enter if you arrive at the right time. You turn a bend and suddenly you are walking over to a petting zoo with childlike surroundings. There are no sidewalks, you walk on active streets that are so sleepy it is easy to forget that cars do still pass on occasion. It is wonderful. I highly recommend.

You can find this tiny brick building right after you get off the Metrolink or Amtrak trains in Capistrano. It's more of an information booth with train schedules and brochures, but it's not always opened. Nearby are many restaurants, shops, and Mission San Juan Capistrano. Los Rios Historic District is just steps away on the other side of the train tracks.
