THROUGHOUT THE 1930S -40S THE HACIENDA WAS OCCUPIED IN A UNIQUELY CALIFORNIA ENDEAVOR, THE GOLDEN AGE OF MOVIES. THESE OWNERS GARNERED OVER 30 ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS FOR FILMS WHOSE NAMES AND STARS ARE STILL, 75 YEARS LATER, HOUSEHOLD WORDS, THEY BROUGHT THEIR FRIENDS, THE EQUALLY FAMOUS WRITERS, ACTORS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, SCIENTISTS, PHILOSPHERS HOME TO THE HACIENDA.

Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
SANTUARIO SAN LORENZO: THE ORGANIZATION DEVELOPED MAINTAINS A NATIVE CALIFORNIA GARDEN USED IN OUR ALTA CALIFORNIA EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING WITH LAUSD SCHOOLS. WE ALSO PROVIDE GENERAL PUBLIC AND HISTORIC CONSERVATION GROUP TOURS SEVERAL TIMES PER YEAR. THIS GARDEN PROVIDES THE ACCESS TO THE HISTORIC RANCHO CEMETERY
PASCUAL MARQUEZ FAMILY CEMETERY RESTORATION WORK CONTINUES WITH THE PLANNED CREATION OF A TILE MEMORIALIZING THOSE BURIED THERE. LANDSCAPING IS UNDERWAY. THE CEMETERY IS PROTECTED BY LANDMARKING BY THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES AND THE SANTUARIO SAN LORENZO NATIVE GARDEN ENTRANCE.
IN ADDITION TO GENERAL DONATION, MUCH OF OUR RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM COLLABORATING WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES IS BY UNDERWRITTEN BY DESIGNATED GRANTS AND SPONSORING DONATIONS. BECAUSE THESE FORM THE CORE OF OUR MISSION, THE EXCESS IS COVERED BY GENERAL OPERATING FUNDS AND MEMBERSHIPS. IN 2017 WE FOCUSED THESE PROGRAMS ON THE ROLE OF CALIFORNIA AND CALIFORNIOS IN THE U.S. CIVIL WAR.
