 Lectures address the history of the Early California and have covered the Rancho Era, Spanish Adobe and Colonial Architecture, Malibu Tile, the history of filmmaking on Rancho lands; How and why so many Los Angeles Streets bear Saint's names. More details...
| Tales of Former Residents of the Hacienda |
 The stories these thick walls could tell: The "Mexican Valentino" followed by the flamboyant Anita Loos set the pattern for residents of entertaining personalities and accomplishments. Mary Loos and Lyle Wheeler filled that mold and then some. Good fortune caused all their stories to be passed down through oral history to this generation for preservation. More details...
| Films, Films and More Films |
In La Senora's Teatro del Canyon we screen some of the over 600 Classic Films made by former residents of the Hacienda. Yes, there are the films with Academy Awards...lots of them. But we also have Mary Loos' film that "saved" a scenic railroad, even as it showcased Marilyn Monroe in her first movie role as a chorus girl. More details...
 Jose Mojica was an opera star, but he also sang the songs of the land; Anita Loos' guests included Cole Porter and 'the Gershwin Boys' who played piano during soirees. A Mexican neighborhood brought Latin dances. We do all. More details...
 Air orchids, plaintains, bromeliads, brought from Mexico by Mojica to dwell alongside Santa Monica Creek ferns and sycamores, all are found in abundance in this mini ecosystem. Botany classes and Garden Tours are available. More details...
