The Campus Plan. In 1876, Leland Stanford purchased 650 acres of what had been El Rancho San Francisquito for a country home and began the development of his Palo Alto Stock Farm for trotting horses.
The Stanford campus has an eclectic and vibrant energy, that make for a fun day. The Stanford Memorial Church, on campus, is a must see in Palo Alto. The people who work near the church are very knowledgeable and generous with sharing local stories. You'll find interesting sculpture clusters near the church. Inside, the mosaic work is inspiring.
