Just 79 feet away from the bustling Sagebrush Cantina, the Leonis Adobe Museum in Calabasas was named as the first Los Angeles historic monument on August 6, 1962.  The Leonis Adobe was the home of Miguel Leonis, known as the King of Calabasas. The museum features his authentically furnished two-story Monterey-Style adobe with original buildings, period livestock, gardens and a vineyard--all part of Leonis' recreated ranch where he once ruled the territory.  The house was originally built in 1844, six years before Los Angeles was incorporated and California was given statehood.

Also on the property is the Plummer House, which was named the oldest house in Hollywood and in 1935 was named California Historical Landmark No. 160.  The house fell into disrepair and became dilapidated before the salvagable front portion of the house was moved to the Leonis Adobe site in 1983 and repaired, restored and refurbished.  It now serves as the Visitor Center and gift shop at the Leonis Adobe site.

The Museum is open Wed through Sunday.  Visit www.leonisadobemuseum.com or call 818.222.6511 for more information.  Location is 23537 Calabasas Road in Calabasas.
