Strathearn Historical Park & Museum

Simi Valley, California

General, History, Historic House, Park

Robert P. and Mary Gray Lamb Strathearn purchased about 15,000 acres of the old Spanish Rancho and built their Victorian-era farmhouse into the front of the Simi Adobe in 1892. Possibly the thick walls of the old adobe reminded them of their home country, Scotland. The adobe rooms were used for kitchen and dining room, and the framed structure contains a double parlor, office and four bedrooms.
Robert P. and Mary Strathearn had seven children: Bert, Jim, Jessie, Marion, George, Isa and Dave.
There were once corrals, barns, a blacksmith shop and many other ranch features nearby. This was called the Home Ranch, and the part of the Strathearn lands toward Moorpark was called the Middle Ranch. The Strathearns were mostly known as cattle ranchers.

Santa Susanna Railroad Historical Society

Simi Valley, California

Specialized

The Santa Susana Railroad Historical Society's model railroad club began meeting in the 1984. The initial mission was to restore Simi Valley's Southern Pacific Railroad depot which had been recently moved from its original site to its current location by the Simi Valley Park and Recreation Department. This group of model railroaders, rail fans, railroad and local history buffs formed the non-profit organization, the Rancho Simi Foundation (RSF) as the legal and operational entity for all depot related maters.
After years of hard work, the first few without running water and electricity, the depot was restored to a point where the club could move into the depot and start construction of its first layout, which was in the waiting room and the ticket office.

MUSEUM CONFERENCES

March 10 - March 13, 2026

California Association of Museums 2026 Annual Conference

California Association of Museums

Omni Hotel

Los Angeles, California

CAM is hard at work planning for the 2026 conference, set to take place from March 10–13, 2026 in Los Angeles. We look forward to highlighting best practices and innovative ideas from California's museum community at CAM 2026: Reframing

Reframing encapsulates the tangible nature of museum work–what we restore, revive, and rebuild–and the intangible nature of museum work–where we reflect, interpret, educate, and shift perspectives. On a larger scale, Reframing gives us the power to redefine who we are, why we’re important, and how we connect with and show up for our community. Reframing is resistance and resilience.

We look forward to reuniting with the California museum community in Los Angeles, March 10–13, 2026 at the Omni Hotel. Stay tuned for more annual conference developments.
