Join OC Parks at the annual spring open house at Arden: Helena Modjeska Historic House and Gardens! 

Tucked away amidst a live oak grove on the banks of Santiago Creek lies the century-old home of the late Shakespearean actress Helena Modjeska. Designed in 1888 by renowned New York architect Stanford White, it's one of two National Historic Landmarks in Orange County. 

Enjoy live classical music performances, pysanky egg decorating demonstrations as well as docent-led tours of the iconic home and grounds. You can even taste one of the famous caramel and marshmallow Modjeska candies!
