This is a wonderful historic home. The inside is like walking into the 1800's. The grounds are gorgeous and they have concerts and festivals. It's right next to the Goleta train Depot museum . Good spot to take the kids and explore the property.

Learn a history of Stow House built in 1872 by Sherman P. Stow (1851 - 1907). Enjoy a serene surrounding with a beautiful arboremtum and see the 1872 furnitures inside of the house.

CONTACT THEM THE SAME DAY TO ENSURE YOU CAN TOUR!

I drove 4 hours to tour the Stow House, another museum & to spend the day in S.B. in between time. I was able to book a tour online for the other museum, but couldn't find online booking for the Stow House so I emailed them days before to confirm booking as I'm driving from out of town.

However, I get there in time for a Saturday 3pm tour & was told tours are not being held due to renovations! This information was not stated on the website nor was it told to me by the person who responded to my email about how to book...

One of the things I have never done is go around the interior of the house. Looking at the history and photos of the place, it does look like a great place to visit. Even if you visit and place is not open, the grounds are impressive with a lake in the middle. Easy access, with a nice parking lot, when a 24/7 toilet.

Clarification: cadillac Angels were excellent. Was a treat to hear the saxophone play his heart out. The original bass player should be a full time member of the group. My issue is with the historical society. They seem to allow smoking, vaping (this was the house sound person, young man who did not care if he was offensive. The main issue no security was seen. In today’s climate of stupid people, seems like a good idea. Would at least give peace of mind and maybe...
