A
unique way of celebrating Ojai Valley Museum’s 40th Anniversary.
"The Ojai Valley Museum was incorporated on October 31, 1966. The
Museum has benefited greatly from the support of persons who have donated
objects of historical and artistic interest to the museum's collection.
|
"Our
Staff has selected artifacts from our collection that represent the history of
the Ojai Valley.
The
artwork, the working tools and the home fashions bring us to a time gone by, but
still remembered by many. They are the technical foundation for the tools we use today.
|
|
For
example, you can look over our collection of sad irons—a heavy
metal solution to wrinkles in the 19th century.

"Our current mission is to assure that the collection and the museum are
here for future generations, and that we build successfully upon the
accomplishments of all those who have worked so hard for the success of the
museum through forty years."
Jane
McClenahan,
Director

Also
featured are model stagecoaches.

Gene Hoback.
They are so accurate
that they were used in Hollywood movie storyboards.

Many
pioneer families are represented in this exhibit, to provide a tangible
connection to the lives of those who preceded us in the Ojai Valley.
