William S. Hart, known as “Two Gun Bill,” was a popular cowboy<br />
actor during the silent film era. He donated his sprawling 22-room<br />
mansion to the <strong>County</strong> with instructions that the public continue to<br />
enjoy it. The 265-acre park grounds include Heritage Junction, with<br />
the 1887 Saugus Train Depot and other historic buildings.<br />
Hart Museum is a member of the National History Museum of <strong>Los</strong><br />
<strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>County</strong>, and sits atop a hill within the Park. The Spanish colonial<br />
Revival style mansion contains original furnishings, an impressive<br />
collection of Western art, mementos of early Hollywood, and Native<br />
American artifacts.<br />
