The Placentia Founders Society preserve the city's past by maintaining the historic Bradford House.
In addition to keeping the Bradford House one of the best restored and maintained houses in Orange County, the Placentia Founders Society sponsors free chamber concerts and hosts several community events throughout the year including the annual wine dinner, holiday party and local artist exhibits. Our docents lead tours for hundreds of local schoolchildren annually as they learn the history of their hometown. And the 2.5 acre estate includes a city park plus the historic home.

I loved joining the legendary Coach Varvas, parents, and other supporters in welcoming over 12,000 high school cross country runners from 450 schools in 21 states to the Great Park for the 21st Annual Woodbridge Cross Country Classic. It was rewarding to work with them and our team City Hall earlier this year to return this race to Irvine city limits!
It was a lovely Summer Evening for our 1st Board Meeting of our Membership year. We now have the ability to accept donations and collect membership dues via credit call! Contact us for more info! 714-403-7901 Tina Maraj President.
