Three Fundraisers

Fundraiser: The historic Shinn property is in the process of being written up for a nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
Read more about the creation of this important document and consider making a donation to support the documentation.

Fundraiser: The Chinese Bunkhouse Preservation Project will preserve the last building of the Shinn Ranch China Camp - a bunkhouse. Donations will go toward the first phase of planning, the second phase of preservation, and finally the educational uses of the bunkhouse.

Soon! New Fundraiser: Florence Shinn hired H.A. Minton in 1917 to draw up plans to remodel several rooms in the Big House. The Day Room was remodeled in a Colonial Revival style. Read more about this fundraiser to get all nine sheets of H.A. Minton's plans for all of the rooms that were remodeled.

Thank you for supporting the history of the Shinn Ranch
