The Stagecoach Inn Museum

 



















 

A. Anderson Hall is located on the lower level of the Stagecoach Inn Museum. It contains fossils found in the area; Chumash native people’s artifacts, photographs and depiction's of Chumash pictographs; rock and mineral exhibits; and a butterfly collection.

B. Carriage House is the repository for coaches, horse tack, tools and Remington Stagecoach prints. An attached garage houses a 1930 Model A Ford donated to the museum by the late Conejo Valley pioneer and booster, Donna Fargo.

C. Windmill shows how water was obtained in the Conejo Valley during early ranching days.

D. Blacksmith Shop contains a giant bellows, workbench and tools.

E. Pioneer Or Newbury House is a replica of a home built in 1874 by Egbert Starr Newbury, the area’s first postmaster. Copied from a painting done by Newbury’s wife Fanny, the three-room home is furnished in a simple fashion.

F. Adobe House is similar to homes occupied by Mexican settlers and their families in early California. Walls are half as thick as actual structures would have been.

G. Beehive Oven or hornista would have been used by residents of the adobe for cooking and heating coals used to heat the house.

H. Chumash Hut would have been used by Native-Americans who lived in Ventura, Santa Barbara and the northwest Los Angeles County for at least 3,000 years. Built with tules (bulrushes), it could have housed 30 Indians.

I. Sycamore Tree has been designated a Ventura County landmark because of its age, size and formation.

J. Nature Trail winds from the rear of the Stagecoach Inn Museum to the Tri-Village. Much of the vegetation has been identified on markers.
