Volunteers Sought for Park, Museum Tours

Simi Valley’s only repository for local lore, the Strathearn Historical Park and Museum, is seeking more volunteers so it can extend its hours.

Museum officials are looking for residents to lead tours through the park’s historical treasures.

Situated off Strathearn Place near the K mart shopping center, the historical park and museum include old buildings, such as the old Strathearn house and the El Rancho Simi adobe where some of the area’s first residents lived.

There are also displays of farm equipment used when Simi Valley was an agricultural community and photos of the city before it became a suburb.

The park offers tours from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and Wednesdays beginning at 1 p.m.

For information on volunteering, call the park at 526-6453. If the park is not open, a name and number may be left.
