California is full of incredible state parks and state historic parks. For this video, I just wanted to focus on some of my favorite state historic parks in California (even though I haven't been to all of them). These parks have historical or cultural significance to the state and add to the diversity of what California has to offer. Let me know what I left off in the comments and I hope to visit all of them one of these days.
