Fun & Music at our First Summer Concert

Nellie Gail Ranch was ready to rock at our first concert of the season at Gallup Park on Friday, June 10, and SAM MORRISON BAND did not disappoint! They entertained us with hits from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Molly Hatchet, Charlie Daniels, Bob Seger, and more. Thank you to our contributing sponsor, the BRAD FELDMAN GROUP who were generous with the FREE beer, wine, and Old Fashioned cocktails, as well as the free inflatable guitars for the kiddos. It was a fun-filled, family night!

Collecting Baby Items – Team Darkhorse

Welcoming Babies to our Darkhorse Family

Team Darkhorse Baby Brigade is composed of a handful of dedicated volunteers whose mission it is to provide a loving welcome to new young mothers.

Marine’s wives are often far from their own homes and support systems. We aim to soften that loneliness with welcome home “baskets” filled with almost everything a newborn will need. Help us show these young mothers some love! Every little bit helps! If you would rather us do the shopping, gift cards to Target help or use the button below access our BABY REGISTRY!

This Week in Nellie Gail Ranch

From the week ending May 20, 2022

The City of Laguna Hills declared May 6th “Lewis F. Moulton Arrival Day” after the pioneer who traveled to Southern California from Boston MA in 1874. Lewis worked on a ranch, eventually purchased it, and acquired 22,000 acres which make up Nellie Gail Ranch and the cities of Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Laguna Woods and Lake Forest. Lewis and his wife Nellie Gail worked the ranch, raised two amazing daughters and became major founders and donors of the Laguna College of Art and Design and Chapman University.

Please see the event coverage here: https://moultonmuseum.org/lewis-moulton-arrival-day/

Additionally, we are excited to share the following opportunity to attend the Moulton Museum inaugural exhibit 1874: Into the West. Moulton Museum is currently scheduling tours and seeking volunteers. Banners located on Oso across from Nellie Gail Ranch Monument Park will give you a daily reminder of this opportunity to celebrate your connection to the Moulton family.
