Pio Pico State Historic Park |
Pio Pico, the last governor of Mexican California, built a mansion on what is now a three-acre state park. Pico was one of California's most remarkable historical figures. He witnessed and helped shape nearly a century of California history. His ancestry includes a mixture of ethnicities, including Mexican, African, Indian, and Italian. The adobe has received damage due to earthquakes, so access to the interior of the adobe is limited. However, the park grounds and picnic areas are open Wednesday through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The park is located in Whittier, west of the 605 freeway at Pioneer and Whittier Boulevards. The park is open for tours, day-use and picnics.
