The Arboretum’s peafowl are descendants of birds brought to the Arboretum by Elias J. “Lucky” Baldwin in the late 1800s. To honor its peacocks, Los Angeles County Arboretum will be celebrating their beauty and legacy.
Enjoy arts, crafts, and a peacock costume contest. A special talk, Baldwin’s Peacocks, from the Arboretum’s Curator of Historical Collection, Mitchell Bishop, will explore the interest in peacocks in the late 1800s and how the Peacocks came to the Arboretum.
