Discover this California landmark, as it currently lies covered by weeds and dirt above the modern day Runyon Canyon Hills.
Thursday@ 7:30PM -- "Leonis Adobe"
Huell and a group of schoolchildren go back in time to the early 1800s, when the day's chores included blacksmithing, cow-roping, and winemaking.
