Strathearn Historical Park and Museum.
I have lived in Simi Valley since 1996. It amazes me the places of interest that I have never been. I drove by the Strathearn Historical Park located at 137 Strathearn Street in Simi Valley. I saw all the old farm tools, farm equipment and the historical buildings of the past.
I did not take the tour but there are daily tours with experienced docents that have all the history to share. From building to building there are markers to give a little explanation of each one. From churches, barbershops, barns and even a general store.
These buildings were on the land elsewhere in the Simi Valley area in years past. The time era’s are from 1795 for the Spanish era, the 1860’s and 1870’s for the Pioneer era, and parts of history is about the Chumash Indians that started it all from the coast to here in Simi Valley.
Walking from building to building I wondered why I had not visited here before now.
