The Workman and Temple Family Homestead Museum is a historic house museum located at 15415 East Don Julian Road in City of Industry, California, that features the home and private cemetery that belonged to the pioneer Workman-Temple family.
After his arrival in the San Gabriel Valley in 1841, William Workman (1799–1867) bought part of the Rancho La Puente and built his adobe house. It was enlarged over the years and, in 1872, remodeled to resemble a manor house in Workman's native England. The family cemetery, El Campo Santo, was established in 1850.[2] It also contains the remains of Pío Pico, the last governor of Alta California, and other prominent pioneer families.
The homestead includes the 1920s La Casa Nueva—a
The Workman Home And Family Cemetery are designated California Historical Landmark No. 874. The Workman Adobe was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, No. 144, on November 20, 1974.[1]
Guided tours of the Homestead Museum are available.
