The Old Borges Ranch is a historic district in Walnut Creek, California. It covers an area of 1,035 acres (419 ha). There are four contributing buildings.
In 1899, Frank Borges bought 700 acres (280 ha). He used it for a cattle ranch and a home for his family. The ranch has a blacksmith shop, farm equipment displays, a barn, and other buildings. One of those buildings is the Borges family home. The home has five rooms. It is made of redwood. Five generations of the Borges family lived in the house. It is now the Old Borges Ranchhouse and Visitor Center. Today, rangers live and work at the ranch.
