Review:
Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a California Historical Landmark, Pio Pico State Historical Park is a wonderful place to explore with the entire family. As you wander the grounds, you’ll come across El Ranchito or the Pio Pico Adobe. The mansion was the final home of Pio de Jesus Pico, a rancher, politician, and the last governor of Alta California under Mexican rule. He was a pivotal figure in the state’s early history and originally built his home in 1853. The structure which you see today is a renovated version post floods in 1867 and was again restored in the year 2000.
