A Museum Like No Other The estate popularly known as Hearst Castle is a National Historic Landmark and California Historical Landmark located on the Central Coast of California, about 250 miles north of Los Angeles. It was designed by architect Julia Morgan between 1919 and 1947 as a residence for William Randolph Hearst, who died in 1951. Hearst Corporation deeded the estate to California in January 1958 and Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument® opened to the public that summer. The Castle serves as the key economic engine of the Central California Coast. Since then, the estate, and its considerable collection of art and antiques, has been open for public tours. Despite its location far from any urban center, the Castle welcomes around 700,000 visitors annually, making it a top tourist destination in California. Sustaining the Legacy Established in 1985, The Foundation at Hearst Castle (formerly called Friends of Hearst Castle) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cooperating association affiliated with Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument® and the San Luis Obispo Coast District of California State Parks. Through membership and fundraising, The Foundation supports educational, interpretive, and preservation programs for Hearst Castle and California State Parks. Through the Foundation, businesses, philanthropic organizations, and individuals can provide support and engagement with Hearst Castle. We provide membership opportunities, educational programs, and special events with the goal of enhancing understanding and appreciation, thereby enriching the visitor experience.

The Foundation strives to give California middle school students from underrepresented communities an inspirational environment in which they can imagine the opportunity to realize their own dreams through the knowledge of STEAM and first-hand experience of jobs associated with the curriculum. Hearst Castle provides such and environment. Pioneering architect Julia Morgan—born January 20, 1872 in San Francisco, California, U.S. and died February 2, 1957—built Hearst Castle with the most advanced construction methods of her time. In spite of its Old World sensibility, the variety of disciplines required to construct one of the great treasures required to construct one of the great treasures of California proves contemporary even in today's world. The goal of the Foundation is to enlighten and challenge each student to assess his or her strengths, and to open their eyes to new possibilities, opportunities, and careers. The pilot program provides participating schools and organizations with tools to sharpen and refine each student’s unique aptitudes through the tangible applications of STEAM subjects, sparking interest and connection to Hearst Castle forever.

A Museum Like No Other Hearst Castle is a National Historic Landmark and California Historical Landmark mansion located on the Central CA Coast. It was designed by architect Julia Morgan, between 1919 and 1947, as a residence for William Randolph Hearst, who died in 1951. In 1954, it became a California State Park and was opened to visitors in 1958. The Castle serves as the key economic engine of the Central California Coast. Since then, the estate, and its considerable collection of art and antiques, has been open for public tours. Despite its location far from any urban center, the Castle welcomes 1.5 million visitors annually, ranking it as a top tourist destination in California. Sustaining the Legacy Formed in 1985, The Foundation at Hearst Castle (formerly Friends of Hearst Castle) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cooperating association affiliated with Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument® and the San Luis Obispo Coast District of California State Parks. Through membership and fundraising, The Foundation provides funds for educational, interpretive, and artifact preservation programs and supports the California State Parks ongoing.

Full-Time Conservation Staff The lack of full-time conservators result in the inability to create a cohesive planning and funding strategy that will adequately address the critical and immediate conservation and restoration needed at Hearst Castle. The Castle's 25,000 works of fine and decorative art need attention so that they can continue to inspire, educate, and delight more than 830,000 visitors each year. The Foundation at Hearst Castle has undertaken a number of conservation projects since its inception to conserve some of the most magnificent of these works of art, such as the 15th century ceiling from Barbastro in northeastern Spain in the Billiard Room of Casa Grande to the massive restoration and completion of the iconic Neptune Pool. The works of art have been enjoyed by millions of visitors, who have marveled at their beauty and historical significance; however, many need extensive conservation so their original splendor will continue to be appreciated. The challenge remains, conservators for these great works are in short supply and are contracted based upon their availability. Given San Simeons remote location, special housing stipends and other associated expenses escalate the cost of each restoration. Consequently, planning and prioritizing the needed work is subject to the availability of a particular conservator and not the priority of the Museum Director.
