Today I tour the iconic and historic Hearst Castle at San Simeon, California. It is one of the tourist gems that must be seen here while traveling in California. Built by America's first media tycoon, William Randolph Hearst and designed by Julia Morgan, this masterpiece of architecture and art is located mid way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. This place was the playground of the Hollywood and political elite during the 20's and 30s and guests included were such icons as Charlie Chaplin, Cary Grant, the Marx Brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, James Stewart, Bob Hope, Calvin Coolidge, Franklin Roosevelt, Dolores del Río, and Winston Churchill. Arguably one of the most visited and known American Castles in America, Hearst Castle joined the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1972 and became a United States National Historic Landmark on May 11, 1976. The art and architecture is worth seeing at least once in your lifetime. In the meantime, keep your wheels on the ground!
