From Wikipedia
Will Rogers State Historic Park is a California State Historic Park in the Santa Monica Mountains, in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. The 186-acre (75 ha) park was established in 1944 to preserve the estate of American humorist Will Rogers, including his ranch and the surrounding countryside. The ranch house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The ranch house, main stables, and other side structures were destroyed in the 2025 Palisades Wildfire, although the original garage/visitor center, smaller outbuildings, and several dozen smaller art and personal artifacts were saved from the inferno.
