Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

The Lummis Home, a 4,000-square-foot Rustic American Craftsman stone house built in the late 19th century, is on the National Register of Historical Places and was designated as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument # 68 on September 2, 1970, as well as, California Historical Landmark # 531 on March 7, 1955. The Lummis Home, El Alisal, is a familiar landmark and a point of pride in the community of Highland Park. The City of Los Angeles, Department of Recreation & Parks is currently operating this site, and opens the doors to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 3pm for free tours.

I’ve lived in L.A. almost my whole life and never knew this house was here until reading about it in The Library Book by Susan Orlean last year! We visited on a Saturday. There is no parking lot but plenty of street parking. It’s a self-guided tour of the first floor only. When we were there there were about four other people in the house and a couple wandering the garden. We were there for about an hour. If you skim through everything you can probably go through in twenty to thirty minutes tops. If you take your time reading and looking through the displays as well as speaking with the docents (which I recommend because they are very knowledgeable and friendly) it could take an hour or more. I definitely recommend visiting and pairing it with a visit to Heritage Square Museum which about half a mile away, and is exactly what we did. Great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday!
