Will Rogers Park

Will Rogers was the highest paid actor in the 1930s. His roles as columnist, philosopher, actor, and radio personality are what made him so popular and successful. He purchased a ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains in the 1920s for his family to enjoy. His life was cut short due to a plane crash in 1935, and his wife passed away barely ten years later. The ranch then became a state park.

Visitors have many activity options including tours of the 31 room house, horseback riding, and a moderate three mile hike loop to Inspiration Point. There is also a newly renovated visitor center mirroring the lifestyle of the late Will Rogers.
