Tesoro Adobe Historic Park
A preserved 1920s Western ranch built by silent film actor Harry Carey, featuring an original adobe home, ranch structures, and Tataviam archaeological sites within a Valencia neighborhood.
Historical Significance
Tesoro Adobe connects two important historical threads: the early Hollywood film industry and the Tataviam indigenous presence. Harry Carey was one of the first major Western film stars, and his ranch represents the era when SCV was an active filming location. The Tataviam bedrock mortars on the property push the site's human history back thousands of years.
What to See & Do
Tour the original adobe home and ranch buildings. See the Tataviam bedrock mortars and interpretive signage. Walk the park grounds with native plant restoration areas. Guided tours available by appointment.
Visitor Tips
The park is managed by the City of Santa Clarita. Tours are available by appointment — check the city website for current scheduling. The site is located within a residential neighborhood; follow posted signage for access.
