Program areas at Rancho Obi-Wan

In 2023 Rancho Obi Wan concentrated on giving high-quality tours and creating new exhibits to inspire our guests. The organization welcomed almost 1,000 visitors in 2023, often multiple generations in a group. The new LEGO exhibit inspires the youngest to the oldest. Two new docents were trained and initiated to the program so they can expand the stories told from different perspectives.
