Pio Pico State Historic Park In-Person Field Trip!
Explore - Pio Pico State Historic Park
On the grounds of Pio Pico State Historic Park stands the over 170-year-old adobe, home of the last governor of Mexican California. Don Pio Pico was one of the wealthiest and most influential men in the Wild West territory. Owning large amounts of land from San Diego to the San Fernando Valley, Don Pio Pico acquired his wealth through Cattle ranching. Students learn the history of Pio Pico, what life was like in the 1800s at the ‘Rancho’ and how he made his money and eventually lost it. In this multisensory guided tour, your class will experience three different rotations and immerse themselves in the life of a Mexican Rancho.
