Museum of Ventura County update for Feb. 27 — Free First Sunday

Major funding for these programs is made possible by the City of
San Buenaventura, the County of Ventura and private and community donors.
The Research Library Archives at the Museum of Ventura County is thrilled to share MVCThen, a new blog charting the history of Ventura County.
Three grades still in use today, the Conejo Grade, the Dennison Grade and the Norwegian Grade, played an important role in the growth of Ventura County and opened up development of the Conejo and Simi Valleys. Making the Grade uncovers the treacherous operation to make for safer traveled paths and the result of a more connected Ventura County.
You can expect more from the Research Library Archives in the future!
