My mom and I (both residents of Santa Clarita for 20+ years) stopped by for a Sunday afternoon tour of Hart's home. We were pleasantly surprised to see not only the beautiful house itself, but also the outstanding Western artwork inside. What a fantastic collection- some of the artwork in here (Remingtons, Russells, etc) is truly world-class- a hidden gem right in our backyard we had never seen before! Our tour guide Evan was kind and helpful and the security guard, Alex, was also extremely knowledgeable about the artwork and museum. They graciously answered our questions and were very accommodating. Thank you both!

We live nearby but have only been here a few times over the years. We went this morning to get some exercise and loved it! Great place to walk around on the many trails and just enjoy nature.
