Journal Flashback
The Conejo Gold Rush
In this edition of Journal Flashback, we present a little nugget on a very short-lived gold rush in the Conejo Valley. In this account J.H. Russell shares his memories of gold rumored to be on his father’s land, as well as continued whispers of buried treasure around an old adobe. The tale of buried gold is a popular story that is attached to many adobes in the region. The Russell family’s ranch is now Westlake Village. This article is from one of the first quarterlies, Volume 1, No. 3 (May 1956).
