Become a Junior Ranger

Junior Ranger Logo If you're between ages 6–12, you can become a Junior Ranger at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park! Pledge to do your part to help preserve the beauty of the park for everyone to enjoy!

On this page, you can download a Junior Ranger activity for this park that you can complete on your own. It's just one of the fun activities you can do to become a Junior Ranger. After you complete it, bring it with you to the park and you're on your way to becoming a Junior Ranger.

When you visit the park ask for a full Junior Ranger booklet at the Visitor Center, Ranger Station or office. Complete the activities during your visit and then bring it to a Park Ranger for review. When a Park Ranger approves your work you'll be asked to take the Junior Ranger Pledge and get sworn in as our newest Junior Ranger. You'll also be given a Junior Ranger Button. We hope to see you at the park!

Activity Sheet Summary

Old and New Mix and Match: Many things have changed since the time the Riordan family built the mansion. Some things, such as the telephone, simply changed in the way they look. Other things, such as transportation, have changed a great deal. See if you can match the old to the new. Draw a line from the way it used to be to the way it is now.
