Nestled on a scenic hillside sits the stunning ranch home of early 20th century celebrity, Will Rogers, along with his beloved horse stables and beautiful hiking trails overlooking the Malibu coast. Will Rogers was the first media superstar of the growing entertainment industry of Los Angeles region – beginning with his silent movie fame in Hollywood during the 1930s. Additionally, Will became a newspaper columnist, a radio show commentator, an author, a technology enthusiast, recycler and an early airplane flight promoter. Growing up in American Indian Territory as a Cherokee Native (Present day Oklahoma), Will came from a simple and humble background. Thanks to Will’s love for entertaining and land conservation, Will Rogers State Historic Park Museum tour goes beyond the movie star and shows the many aspects of Will Rogers’ passions, as well as the land he loved most.
During this 90 minute guided field trip, students will be able to explore multiple parts of the park.
