The exhibit “Back to the Ranch” consists of fifteen new paintings by award-winning artist Jeff Sewell. Capturing the natural beauty of Aliso and Wood Canyons, the land that once comprised the historic Moulton Ranch. The park was part of Moulton Ranch, a nearly 22,000-acre farming and ranching operation. We hope you can join us for opening reception on March 9th at 6pm.

Moulton Museum is proud to celebrate the pioneer spirit with our local community. We couldn’t think of a better way to transport you back in time than to enlist the creative talents of local artist, Jeff Sewell, as he preserves the living history found in Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park.

We are fortunate to work with such talented individuals who have the ability to capture the natural beauty of the land that has comprised Moulton Ranch for all these years. We hope you enjoy a glimpse into the past of Orange County history by viewing Jeff Sewell’s creations and exploring the park’s many trails.
