The Dry Creek Ranch House is part of Sacramento County's Dry Creek Parkway in the Rio Linda/Elverta area. Part of the Dry Creek Master Plan area, work is underway to preserve the historic character of the property while making it more accessible and educational for visitors.

The McFarland Ranch near Galt is considered a "Living History" ranch, with a goal of providing people with a glimpse of pioneer life in our area. The ranch was once owned by early settler John McFarland, who farmed 1800 acres of land here in the mid-1850´s. His family has helped to keep this gem of Sacramento County´s history open for all to see.
