Historical Background
The
Los
Angeles
Ostrich
Farm
was
built
in
1906
by
proprietor
Francis
Earnest
, and was
located
adjacent
from
Lincoln
Park
(once
known
as
East
Lake
Park)
at
3609
Mission
Road
. The
farm
sold
ostrich
eggs
and
feathers
, and
tours
were
given
daily
of the
grounds
.
Ostriches
were
bred
for
exhibition
and
trained
to
pull
visitors
in
carts
or to be
ridden
astride
. The
farm
also
put
on
ostrich
races
for
spectators."Real

postcards
were a
popular
purchase
at the
farm--visitors
could
have their
picture
taken
with the
ostriches
and the
photographs
were
printed
on
paper
with
pre-printed
postcard
backs
. The
Ostrich
Farm
closed
sometime
after
1972
.
