Will Rogers State Historic Park Details

Tucked away in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles is the former home of famed performer Will Rogers.

The surrounding 186-acre property also includes a stable, riding corral, a polo field, and a golf course. After Rogers death, the ranch was given to the state parks department and remodeled to its original condition when the family lived there.
