William S. Hart Ranch and Museum
A Member of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, William S. Hart Museum is less than an hour's drive from most areas of Los Angeles. It is the former home of William S. Hart, silent film cowboy star and director. The Museum sits atop a hill within the William S. Hart Park which is home to a vast picnic area, hiking trails, Animal Barnyard, and a herd of American Bison. The Spanish Colonial Revival Style mansion contains original furnishings, an impressive collection of western art, memorabilia of early Hollywood, and Native American artifacts. In addition, there is a furnished 1910 ranch house which is open for unguided tours. For more information, please call (661) 254-4584 or email us at information@hartmuseum.org.
