The historical Peterson Farm House is a symbol of early life in Bell Gardens. A century ago, in 1906, there was a traumatic earthquake in San Francisco. It was in this same year that George Peterson, having made the journey to America earlier, in 1887, and his wife Anna Marie (Mary), like George, a Danish immigrant, moved their two sons, Walter, age nine, and five year old Clarence, into a new two story home on a 32 acre farm which stretched from what is now 7535 Perry Road to Jaboneria Road
