This large pond is located right at the center of Los Encinos State Historic Park! It is fed by a natural spring, which once provided a year-round source of water for the ancient village of Siutcanga. On most days, you can see it full of geese, ducks, and even turtles who enjoy spending their day swimming and splashing around in the cool water. What's even more interesting about this pond is that it was built in the shape of a guitar by ranch owner Eugene Garnier in 1874.

At Los Encinos State Historic Park, you can find exposed, original adobe brick wall at the building pictured above! The name for the structure is called an "adobe dwelling". When it was originally built back in 1849, the families that lived there made and used adobe bricks as structure for the house. In order to make the adobe bricks, they would first dig a big pit in order to gather lots of mud. Then, they would mix ingredients like straw, which helped bind everything together, and charcoal into the mud. This was a house to six different families from 1849-1944.
