Aside from the threat of buying babies, Encino has some other great things going on.Specifically, the Ranchos Los Encinos will be opening up again more on a regular basis. And after 12 years(since the 1994 earthquake), the de la Ossa Adobe is finally about to become open to the public again. The walls are painted, the furniture is there, and the exhibit panels have just been installed. This state park was closed after the 1994 earthquake and has slowly been restored to its former glory.
This weekend will herald in the return of the "Living History" program that happens every 3rd Sunday of the month. Check it out.
Also, in Valley history news...
The Museum of the San Fernando Valley's online presence announces the Valley's acquisition of a portrait of Mrs. Armitage Forbes: "California's Bell Lady." This portrait, painted by acclaimed artist Orpha Mae Klinker, was returned to the Valley from Riverside, and is especially poignant because it will hang in the Campo de Cahuenga, a monument she helped preserve. It will hang alongside two of he other portraits: John C Fremont and Pio Pico - the men who signed the Articles of Capitulation at the Campo back in 1847. (Klinker is also known for painting the Hitler-esque mayoral portrait of recalled LA Mayor Frank Shaw!)
