- The 1854 Army post at Tejon Pass, home of the camel corps experiment and monthly living history
- More
- Dragoons stationed here tested the Army's imported camels — the experiment died with the Civil War. The 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake (M7.9, the state's strongest recorded) ruptured the ground nearby; monthly living-history weekends drill in period kit under valley oaks.
