Yesterday I spent the day at William S. Hart Park and Museum with my family and some friends. Being a native of Santa Clarita, it's hard to believe that I haven't taken advantage of this great resource more often. Plus it's free!
I must admit it was quite busy yesterday, at the William S. Hart Park itself, but it was a weekend, and it was Easter, so that should be expected. It was nice to see families and friends out enjoying the nice cool day, playing games, hanging out, and barbecuing.
The William S. Hart Park, which is a regional park maintained by Los Angeles County, features a Barnyard Zoo with over 70 birds and animals, picnic area with tables and barbecue amenities, Heritage Junction Historic Park which is home to the 19th century Saugus Railroad Station and many other historical buildings, and there is of course the William S. Hart residence and museum which is a satellite operation of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. There are free tours guided tours year round at Hart's mansion! I loved the tour of the home. Being in real estate, that doesn't shock me. The artifacts in the home are quite cool, too!
Here are some photos from my trip to the William S. Hart Park and Museum yesterday. Quite a few photos were taken from the Heritage Junction Historic Park which is on the same park grounds, and adjacent to the Barnyard Zoo.
These photos were all taken with my iPhone. It's just so much easier that way! This is a mesh of photos, showing the William S. Hart Residential Museum and interior photos of the home, and some other photos taken at Heritage Junction Historic Park just down the hill, from Hart's mansion. Next time you're in the area, stop by and check it out!
