Go ride a stagecoach!
Los Encinos State Historic Park
On Sunday, October 19th, Los Encinos State Historic Park in Encino will host a unique living history event. It will be "Stagecoach Day", which celebrates the 150th Anniversary of the start of scheduled stagecoach service in California.
This program will feature an actual stagecoach with horses, traveling the old Overland Mail route (Ventura Blvd) from Campo de Cahuenga in Universal City to Los Encinos and then to the Leonis Adobe in Calabasas. It is scheduled to arrive at Los Encinos around mid day.
In addition, the program at Los Encinos will feature two 19th Century style bands (Los Californios and the Band of the California Battalion), Victorian dancing, a blacksmith, a telegraph office, children’s games, tours of the restored 1849 adobe and participants in authentic Victorian costume.
Pack a picnic and stay the day–admission is free. Old West attire is encouraged (no weapons please)
