Pio Pico State Historic Park
Pio Pico State Historic Park, Historic adobe house in Whittier, United States.
The historic park contains a nineteenth century adobe structure situated along the San Gabriel River, representing early California residential architecture.
El Ranchito served as the final residence of Pio Pico, the last governor of Mexican California, who constructed this adobe mansion in 1853.
The building combines traditional Mexican adobe construction methods with later American architectural modifications, reflecting California's transitional period between nations.
Visitors can explore the grounds daily from 10 AM to 3 PM, with guided tours available that explain the site's connection to California's development.
The property transformed from a 10,000-acre ranch into one of California's earliest state historic parks in 1927 through local preservation efforts.
