Planning is underway for the reconstruction of the education/research center destroyed in the 1993 Malibu/Topanga fire.
The Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve is a 310-acre biological field station located four miles inland on the north central flank of the Santa Monica Mountains. It is one of 36 ecological reserves operated by the University of California Natural Reserve System (NRS), and is the only reserve managed by UCLA .The NRS network of reserves spread across all parts of California provides venues for world-class research and education in the environmental sciences, and is a unique resource unparalleled anywhere else in the world.
The Stunt Ranch Reserve, named for the original family that homesteaded the property in 1885, comprises 310 acres of relatively pristine chaparral, live oak woodland, and riparian habitat in the Cold Creek watershed on the north-central flank of the Santa Monica Mountains, between Malibu and Calabasas. The reserve is also an archeological site with rich evidence of Chumash inhabitants dating back thousands of years.
The Reserve is not open to the public for recreational uses: These include hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, picnicking, or rock climbing.
The exception is the Stunt High Trail which runs alongside and through some portions of the Reserve.

The Leonis Adobe Museum is dedicated to restoring, preserving, and sharing the last of the old west. Here, you can experience California ranch life of the late 1800s... visit a Victorian-style early Los Angeles home... see what a jail was like in the Wild West... enjoy a picnic in picturesque Calabasas Creek Park with its antique ironwork and lovely gardens.
The Leonis Adobe was the home of Miguel Leonis, known as the King of Calabasas. The museum features his authentically furnished two-story Monterey-Style adobe with original buildings, period livestock, gardens and a vineyard--all part of Leonis' recreated ranch where he once ruled the territory.
Although the Leonis Adobe is over 150 years old, the everyday life on the ranch is much the same. Upon entering the wrought-iron gates, the huge White Oak tree still shades the property and one immediately travels back to the 1880 period.
Until it was moved to the Leonis Adobe grounds in 1983, the Plummer House stood in Plummer Park, West Hollywood, where it was known as the "Oldest House in Hollywood". In 1935 it was designated as State Historical Landmark No. 160.
Weekend tours are given every Saturday and Sunday at 1:30pm.
