The house and surrounding grounds passed through several landowners’ hands from 1891 to 1937 at which point L.O. Ivey purchased it. The Ivey’s were living in Los Angeles at the time of the purchase. \nMr. Otis Ivey was a poor boy from Texas who made good with Citizens Bank in Los Angeles starting at the beginning of the 1900’s. He lived most of his later adult life in San Marino (near Pasadena)\, then Westwood\, then Holmby Hills\, part of Los Angeles. He loved to ride horses on the ranch and loved to ride around in his open\, metallic green Jeep. It is thought that Otis Ivey stopped coming to the ranch by about 1970\, when his health slowed him down. \nIn 1981\, the Year of the Disabled\, a steering committee proposed a Concept Proposal for the establishment of a park at a twenty-acre site on the Ivey Ranch Estate. The Ivey Ranch Steering Committee proposed a plan for a park that would be fully accessible to both the disabled and able-bodied. The park envisioned by the Steering Committee would provide an environment for all groups of the area’s population to interact and relate to one another irrespective of their disabilities. \n \n\nSave

SUMMARY:On Gold Mountain Opera: A Daylong Adventure featuring New York Times bestselling author Lisa See
DESCRIPTION:About the Live\, In-Person\, Daylong Adventure\n\nWhen she was a girl\, Lisa See spent summers in the cool\, dark recesses of her family’s antique store in Los Angeles Chinatown. There\, her grandmother and great-aunt told her intriguing\, colorful stories about their family’s past- stories of missionaries\, concubines\, tong wars\, glamorous nightclubs\, and the determined struggle to triumph over racist laws and discrimination. \nAs an adult\, Lisa spent five years collecting the details of her family’s remarkable history. The result\, her memoir\, On Gold Mountain\, is the true story of Fong See\, a pioneer of Los Angeles’ Chinatown who immigrated to America to work on the railroad and find his fortune. \nNow you will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience On Gold Mountain at our Daylong Adventure.

Itinerary above may vary slightly. \n  \nAbout the Author and Book\n \nLisa See has led an active and varied career. She was the Publishers Weekly West Coast Correspondent for thirteen years. As a freelance journalist\, her articles have appeared in Vogue\, Self\, and More\, as well as in numerous book reviews around the country. She wrote the libretto for Los Angeles Opera based on On Gold Mountain\, which premiered in June 2000 at the Japan American Theatre. She also served as guest curator for an exhibit on the Chinese-American experience at the Autry Museum of Western Heritage\, which then traveled to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington\, D.C.\, in 2001. \nHer beloved New York Times bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan\, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane\, Peony in Love\, Shanghai Girls\, Dreams of Joy\, and China Dolls\, have brilliantly illuminated the strong bonds between women. These books have been celebrated for their authentic\, deeply researched\, lyrical stories about Chinese characters and cultures. \nMs. See was honored as National Woman of the Year by the Organization of Chinese American Women in 2001\, was the recipient of the Chinese American Museum’s History Makers Award in 2003\, and received the Golden Spike Award from the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California in 2017. She sits on the boards of Los Angeles Opera\, National Historic Preservation Trust\, and The Music Center. \nDocumenting the history of her own Chinese-American family\, Lisa shares the results of five years of research in her novel\, On Gold Mountain\, which includes interviews with nearly one hundred Chinese and Caucasian relatives\, in a story of acceptance and discrimination. \nIn 1867\, Lisa See’s great-great-grandfather arrived in America\, where he prescribed herbal remedies to immigrant laborers who were treated little better than slaves. His son Fong See later built a mercantile empire and married a Caucasian woman\, in spite of laws prohibiting interracial marriage. Lisa herself grew up playing in her family’s antique store in Los Angeles’s Chinatown\, listening to stories of missionaries and prostitutes\, movie stars\, and Chinese baseball teams. \nWith these stories and her own years of research\, Lisa See chronicles the one-hundred-year-odyssey of her Chinese-American family\, a history that encompasses racism\, romance\, secret marriages\, entrepreneurial genius\, and much more\, as two distinctly different cultures meet in a new world. \n\n  \nAbout The Huntington\n\n\nThe Huntington Library\, Art Museum\, and Botanical Gardens is a collections-based research and educational institution serving scholars and the general public. \n
