Bring cash: reviewers say there is no other way to pay the small admission or leave a donation. It is docent-led and thorough, and several reviewers stayed an hour or two without meaning to. A nine-year-old enjoyed it, but one reviewer would not bring small children, since it rewards listening.
An outdoor complex of historic Ramona buildings — ranch house, blacksmith shop, jail, print shop — that kids can actually walk through rather than read about. Saturdays only, and closed the whole of August.

- Denise Haerr★★★★★
What a historic gem in the quaint Ramona downtown. We knew nothing of the local history. A visit to the Verlaque House (c. 1886) showcased a treasure trove of artifacts from Ramona's beginnings. The docent, Susan, was enthusiastic and informative. There was so much to see and do (even some crafts, which added an extra level of fun to the day). We were pressed for time but we will certainly return to try to see even more. Wow, what a surprise find and so worth the suggested $5 donation.

We got an awesome tour with a local volunteer. So knowledgeable. Take $$ CASH they don’t have any other way of taking a donation There is so much here. Why a pot hole is called that. The funkiest hair dressingheated rollers, a gaol and school room. Don’t miss under the house too.
