VIRTUAL LEARNING
This summer, if you are out and about in Ventura County (or elsewhere), why not record your observations of the plants and animals in a nature journal?
In Virtual Learning Module #8 we provide you with an Activity Guide and Activity sheets to help you get started with going outdoors and recording what you observe in nature through drawing and writing!
Virtual Learning Modules are brought to you by the generous support of
MUSEUM QUIZLET
History Smarts: The Chinese in Ventura County
The Chinese community has a long history of contribution and of enduring hardship and prejudice in Ventura County. We’ve collected just a few stories of resilience and resourcefulness for you to test your knowledge of the Chinese community’s contributions to our county.
Please include your name and contact information at the end of the quiz and we’ll place your name in a weekly drawing for a $50 gift certificate to a local Ventura County establishment of your choice!
SHARE YOUR STORY
2020 Protest Collecting – Museum of Ventura County
The Museum is encouraging organizations and individuals to submit their stories, images, videos, artwork, and other documentation of the regional activism that is currently taking place in response to recent murders of black Americans and racism in American culture.
The Museum’s goal is to create an online resource and archive of these materials, to document this historic moment and the community’s response to it for future generations. We encourage you to share your experiences, photographs, videos, artwork and more.
BRIDGE BUILDER VIDEO
The Hobson Family Legacy: Episode 1
MVC is pleased to present the first installment in our four-part video documentary series on the extended families and descendants of Isabel Winemiller and William Dewey Hobson. The Museum was set to honor them at the 2020 Bridge Builder Gala in April so instead created this video series as an additional way of showcasing the extraordinary impact this family has had on the region.
