The Whitaker-Jaynes and Bacon House Museums are open to the public by the Buena Park Historical Society, FREE of charge. Call for appointment or for current hours.
The story of the Whitaker-Jaynes House coincides with the history and development of Buena Park. The House was built for Andrew W. Whitaker when he arrived from Indiana in 1887.
The Bacon House was built about 1884 by an unknown squatter in a remote area of Abel Stearn's Rancho Los Coyotes. The Bacon House is a rare surviving example of the single wall method of construction. The house is furnished with many original Bacon Family heirlooms.
Both house museums are furnished much as they would have been at the turn of the century and are open to the public by the Buena Park Historical Society.
These homes are at the center of the newly formed Historic District between the Stage Stop Hotel and the First Congregational Church.
Contact the Historical Society for its latest information.
