Cawston Ostrich Farm
Cawston Ostrich Farm, located in South Pasadena, California, United States, was opened in 1886 by Edwin Cawston. It was one of America's first ostrich farms and was located in the Arroyo Seco Valley just three miles (5 km) north of downtown Los Angeles and occupied nine acres. In 1887, the company built Hollywood's first railway, linking the farm to Hollywood.
