The Shadow Ranch Foundation is located in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. The Foundation was created solely to preserve vintage industrial equipment and machinery. We make it possible for the general public to witness its historical significance and life changing importance. To ensure the Foundation's long term success, the primary sponsor has put in place a mechanism to pass his entire estate to the Foundation.
Founded in 2015, the Foundation's mission has been steadily expanded and focused on preserving equipment and machinery that are among humanity's most important contributions. An example is the Linotype, which made the widespread production of books and hundreds of other printed documents possible. Another are Vintage Turret Clocks, which enabled entire communities to know the time of day in early times. Sitting almost side by side in our Vintage Turret Clocks and Printing building are the Linotype and several very early turret clocks representing two of world history's most significant and life-changing inventions.
Those who pay us an onsite visit will observe all the vintage equipment and machinery collection you see when you view the website and more. The Foundation is an IRS approved 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and all donations are tax deductible. Please get in touch with us if you wish to visit and/or if you can assist us in any other manner.
