— The grounds and historic landscape (barn, stables, carpenter shop, blacksmith shop, gardens and trees)
— The natural environment of the park (the Santa Monica Mountains)
— Opportunities for volunteers (house tours, grounds tours, greeting visitors, gardening, restoration (usually special projects), etc.
