LOPEZ ADOBE WILL BE CLOSED IN MAY 2018 DUE TO THE MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY.
The property was acquired from the King of Spain via a grant to DeCelis. The chain of title deed is on display in the dining room of the adobe. An upper apartment was the home of a daughter, Kate Lopez Millen from 1931 until her death in 1961. Her children sold the adobe to the City of San Fernando in 1970. This purchase was made possible by a Historical Preservation grant, given to save the house from destruction. The 1971 earthquake did not do too much structural damage and, in 1974, it was restored as the original building for use as an early historical site. A group of San Fernando citizens, students and organizations contributed time, labor, talents, and money to prepare the home for its grand opening on April 5, 1975.
The adobe is registered as a National Historical Site, a state and county Historical Site, and the California Historical Advisory Committee says it is considered an important historical point of interest in the state.
San Fernando has been presented with a Gold Seal Award from the San Fernando Valley Beautiful Association for the beautiful Casa de Geronimo Lopez adobe and the grounds surrounding the home.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The Lopez Adobe is currently looking for docents, administrative, and community service temporary volunteers. We are especially in need of docents who can lead tours in Spanish or English, and enjoy working with children. No experience is necessary, and training and materials are free. If you are interested, please complete and submit an application (see Forms Section below). After filling out/submitting the application, our Museum Coordinator will call you to schedule an interview.

The César Chávez Memorial honors the legacy and work of the late farmworker leader. The construction of the memorial is the culmination of efforts by many community members who recognize Chávez’s impact to promote justice and equity for all Americans. The memorial is developed on a 23,000 square foot area of land in the City of San Fernando. The concept for the memorial consists of four separate art pieces placed in a park setting. The City along with various community organizers sponsors an annual march in honor of Chávez. The City of San Fernando, preceding the State of California’s decision, became the first in the nation to designate his birthday, March 31, an official holiday.
The memorial consists of four different elements reflecting the life of César Chávez and the farmworkers struggle, a single life size statue of César Chávez is poised in front of a series of ten figures representing the farmworkers plight and eventual empowerment. Other features also designed by the artist include a fountain and mural. The fountain is in the shape of the United Farmworkers (UFW) eagle symbol, with the “César Chávez Prayer” inscribed on one side and painting on the other side. The mural is 100 feet in length and provides a visual chronology of César Chávez life.
The artist selected to design the Memorial, Ingacio Gomez, is a well known community artist who has been involved in various art projects in Los Angeles and throughout the nation.
