Peña Adobe Historical Society joined vendors and Community Partners at the Annual Rush Ranch Open House!
This year Suisun City RPM and Solano Land Trust on Saturday, April 18, 2026, hosted for the first-ever the Infinity Fun Run, the official kick-off to the Rush Ranch Annual Open House event! Created in honor of Autism Acceptance Month, this event celebrates community, inclusion, and nature while showcasing Rush Ranch as an accessible natural treasure. The day started with a timed 5K or an untimed 1-mile walk/run, then runners stayed to enjoy all the family-friendly activities, demos, and experiences offered at the Rush Ranch Open House.
Solano Land Trust’s Rush Ranch Open House is free to all and packed with fun for all ages. Visitors shopped from local vendors of art, food from local farms, jewelry, and more. Kids and adults learned about the natural and cultural history of Rush Ranch, played games, and engaged science and engineering activities.
Guests got to meet the horses that live at Rush Ranch, saw grazing cows, and took horse-drawn wagon rides with Access Adventure (including accessible options), and park visitors saw blacksmiths Joe and Paul in action in the blacksmith shop located at the park. There were also be guided walks of Suisun Marsh, which is part of Rush Ranch and home to many endangered species, going out throughout the day.
