==Old Trapper's Lodge== {{Infobox historic site | name =Old Trapper's Lodge | image =CHL- 939 Old Trappers Lodge (3514943318).jpg | image_size = | caption = | locmapin = | location =[[Woodland Hills, Los Angeles]] | built = 1951 to 1981 | architect = John Ehn | designation1 =California | designation1_offname = | designation1_type = | designation1_criteria = | designation1_date = | delisted1_date = | designation1_partof = | designation1_number =939.5 }} The campus is home to Old Trapper's Lodge, California Historical Landmark No. 939.5, an [[outsider art]] environment that pays homage to the pioneer upbringing of its creator John Ehn. It represents the life work of John Ehn (1897β1981), a self-taught artist who wished to pass on a sense of the Old West, derived from personal experiences, myths, and tall tales. From 1951 to 1981, using his family as models, and incorporating memorabilia, the 'Old Trapper' followed his dreams and visions to create the Lodge and its 'Boot Hill.' The artwork was moved from the original site in Sun Valley, CA, and relocated to the college.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PEOCblFHdfoC&q=Ehn&pg=PA99|title=Self-taught Art: The Culture and Aesthetics of American Vernacular Art|first=Charles|last=Russell|date=24 October 2017|publisher=Univ.
