San Fernando Valley Attractions in Los Angeles
In its progression from brush then farmland then dream of suburbia to the present day highly diverse and fragmented landscape, the San Fernando Valley has acquired all sorts of quirks and highlights.
Two very historic sites are collected here, starting at the top with the Mission San Fernando (built by Father Fermín Lasuén in 1797). Later on the list is Los Encinos State Historic Park (where the spring has been in use since prehistoric times, the adobe there was built in 1850 by Vicente de la Ossa).
The modern era is very present on this list in items like the Americana in Glendale, a popular new outdoor shopping area complete with trolley and fountain. Many visitors travel each year to Universal Studios and CityWalk, which is a widely successful mash-up of mall, theme park, and movie studio. Warner Brothers is another huge studio located in the Valley; they also offer studio tours and are home to the Warner Brothers Museum.
Traveling to the far east edge of the Valley we have Brand Park, home to the Brand Library (a grand mansion built in 1904 that is now a public library). The park also features a Japanese teahouse, a museum, and walks up into the rugged Verdugo Mountains.
This list ends with the Travel Town Museum. This is one of many attractions in Griffith Park, which borders on the southern edge of Valley.
