The Society operates the Bancroft Ranch House as a free museum dedicated to preserving the history of the Spring Valley area. Guided group tours may be arranged by calling the caretaker at (619) 469-1480.

The museum is located at 9050 Memory Lane in Spring Valley. Memory Lane is located off Bancroft Drive, between Highway 94 (or Campo Road) and Kenwood Drive. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the solitude of the peaceful location hidden from the busy world. There's always a gently breeze blowing and chickens scratching across the yard, and an occasional sighting of a resident bunny.
