Historical Background

A small interpretive museum, a Chumash village reproduction, and hiking trails are open to the public in this park. The 428-acre park contains eleven archaeological sites within a few yards of each other along the streambed of a narrow oak-wooded canyon, with bedrock mortars and shelters containing Chumash pictographs.

The Chumash Indian Museum, which is located on the property, contains a large collection of Chumash artifacts. The museum is open on weekends.
