The new website provides up to date Rene Bradford Kamin has been instrumental in our obtaining the original Bradford Dining room set which is currently being restored in addition to the original Bradford Master Bedroom Set which is in excellent condition and will soon be displayed for all to enjoy.

3 Bradford Original Bedroom Set is Home We are pleased to have the original Bradford bedroom set back in the Bradford House where we certainly feel it belongs. With the assistance of Irene Kamins, it was donated by Reverand Donald McInness who purchased it in the 1970s when the house was emptied. Irene paid for the shipping from Oakland. The bedroom set was purchased by Hartwell Bradford while he was touring Italy in 1911, and it arrived in the US by ship. It is an absolutely beautiful Italian Renaissance bed, dressers, and bedside table. There are very intricate carvings on each piece. It has been placed in the large upstairs bedroom but is currently in need of a mattress to really show off its beauty. Come for our second Sunday tours to see this beautiful set. We offer special thanks torev. McInness and Irene Kamins. Photos Taken by John Walcek Bradford Family Historical Reenactment The Placentia Founders Society joined the Placentia Historical Committee and the Valencia High School Drama Department to once again present the historical reenactment of the first party held, in January 1903, once the Bradford House was completed. It was for Hartwell Bradford s 19 th birthday. Performances were held on May 17 at noon and 3 PM. The script for the play was written using primary sources such as family diaries and newspaper articles. The youngsters ran around the house, the women served food, the men played poker, and the teenagers actually sneaked a cup from the punchbowl.
