Will Rogers State Historic Park
The historic home of American comedian Will Rogers is now known as Will Rogers State Historic Park. It is located in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles' Santa Monica Mountains. There are hiking and horseback riding routes, picnic areas, tours of the Will Rogers historic ranch house, and weekend polo matches in the Santa Monica Mountains State Historic Park. A stable, corrals, riding ring, roping arena, golf course, polo field, and riding and hiking trails that provide views of the ranch and the surrounding countryside are all located outside the 186-acre ranch house, which has 31 rooms and 11 bathrooms (757,000 m2).
Between 2002 and 2006, California State Parks undertook a substantial repair of the ranch house. The renovation involved replacing the electrical systems, installing a new heating and cooling system, and reconstructing the flagstone sections that surround the home. In March 2006, the home reopened to the public.
The trails that lead to views of the surrounding countryside and the stables are beyond the ranch and the stables. The Santa Monica Mountains' tip is where Will Rogers State Historic Park is located, therefore the paths offer views of both the sea and the mountains. Visitors have three options for getting around the park: hiking to Inspiration Point, taking the Rogers trail around the outside, or continuing on the Backbone Trail System into Topanga State Park.
