The Pio Pico house is no longer a home of a cattle rancher. The adobe is over 170 years old and California State Parks is preserving its structure because Pio Pico was the last governor of Alta California.  The “little ranch” and adobe home at Pio Pico State Historic Park is now surrounded by the communities of Whittier and Pico Rivera east of Los Angeles. Today, you can enjoy the park with picnics, bird watching and exploring the parks many features, such as this adobe!

The picture above was taken in 1910, exactly 111 years ago! Pio Pico purchased the land for this adobe mansion in 1848 and called it his final home. The land the adobe was built on was called "El Ranchito," and consisted of about 5 acres! Pio Pico's home consisted of 15 different rooms filled to the brim with special items Pio Pico would've used himself, such as an horno (bread oven) and a dovecoat. A bell marks the original El Camino Real, which passed directly in front of the park during Pío Pico’s time.
