 | Hello, I'm SACCAP's CEO, Talia Lawrence. Will Rogers State Historic Park is the threatened site
closest to me. Not only do I live near it, but it is one of the main
reasons I started SACCAP. I have dedicated this page to it's
continuation.

History of Park:
Will Roger’s was a movie star in the 1920’s through the 1930’s. He needed a place for he and his family to escape city life. He combined his vast wealth and his love for nature and ranching to purchase 150 acres of land in Los Angeles. He built one small house and necessary horse accommodations, but otherwise left all the land untouched. The photograph below shows the property when it was first purchased in the 1920's.  After Will Rogers died in a plane crash in 1935, the property went to his wife, Betty; and at the time of her death in 1944, she left the ranch, the horses and the house to the state, to be enjoyed by all.
