Neverland Valley Ranch (formerly the Sycamore Valley Ranch) is a developed property in Santa Barbara County, California, most famous for being a former home of American entertainer Michael Jackson from 1988 to 2005. It is named after Neverland, the fantasy island in the story of Peter Pan, who never grows up. The ranch is located about five miles (8 km) north of unincorporated Los Olivos, and about eight miles (13 km) north of the town of Santa Ynez.

Santa Barbara is a city so rich in history that its easy to sometimes miss something very interesting.

A prime example is Casa de La Guerra.  It's right in the middle of everything.  It's just off State Street a half block from El Paseo Nuevo shopping mall.  You'd think everybody would swing by to check out their wonderful exhibits.

Unfortunately, most people in town don't realize what a wonderful slice of history is right under our very noses.

Mission Santa Barbara, also known as Santa Barbara Mission, is a Spanish Franciscan mission near present day Santa Barbara, California.
