pleasant valley historical society museum & botanical gardens

This is a small place, with a little history thrown in with the plants. The walk among the foliage is nice and relaxing, but all too short with no seating. I would love to see them get enough funds to put out a couple of benches and allow people to sit and relax in the relative quiet garden they've built.

This is a small museum used as an educational support for local schools. Exhibits illustrate pioneer days and feature Chumash Indian artifacts, everyday objects from settlers and farmers through the ages, vintage photographs, and maps. Good history of land grants, railroads, and early Ranchos. The botanical garden is a lovely site featuring native plants, a dry creek bed of river stones, benches, and a large gazebo. Docents are available for tours on Sa and Su from 12-4. There is a small research library on site.Admission is free. I recommend this museum for those w/ young kids or those seeking local historical facts. It is a good stop for a road trip.

Jardim botânico agradável, com belos espécimes. Ainda no terreno, encontra-se um museu da história da agricultura local com vários objetos e fotos.
