Secrets of the Rosedale Colony in Kern County
Regina Becker shares clues about Bakersfield area history from the 1880s Rosedale Colony. The Garden of Eden venture featured palm lined lanes, grand houses, churches, and irrigation canals but failed as colonists faced dry years and falling grape prices. Some speculate a mysterious mansion linked to the Land Company’s ranches.
