State Park: History, Walk
A magnificent 115-room main house plus guesthouses, pools, and 8 acres of cultivated gardens. The main house itself, “La Casa Grande,” is a grand setting for Hearst’s collection of European antiques and art pieces. It was also a most fitting site for hosting the many influential guests who stayed at Hearst’s 250,000-acre San Simeon ranch. Guests included President Calvin Coolidge, Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Lindbergh, Charlie Chaplin, and a diverse array of luminaries from show business and publishing industries.
