Tri-Village Exhibit
The Tri-Village Exhibit was developed in 1976 as a reminder of the Bicentennial by the Conejo Valley Bicentennial-Centennial Commission.
The Tri-Village includes dwellings that represent the three historic eras in the Conejo Valley. They include the Newbury Pioneer House, the Spanish Adobe and a Chumash Village.
You can also
find our 300 year old Sycamore Tree and
Nature Trail within the Tri-Village
Exhibit Area.
As you start on the Tri-Village Trail
you will see examples of original farm implements: wagons, plows, carts,
and other items.
The first exhibit you come to is the quaint
Newbury Pioneer House designed
from drawings of the Newbury Home of the late 1800's.
Next you come upon the Spanish Adobe. It represents an adobe that could have been built 200 years ago.
Continuing down the path you come upon the Chumash Village. The Chumash home, known as an Ap, was constructed exactly the way the Chumash would have done centuries ago. The village exhibit also has a fire ring which is very sacred to the Chumash.
Next to the Chumash Village is another Thousand Oaks Landmark...a old Sycamore Tree estimated at over 250 years in age.
Finally, take a stroll down the Nature Trail. Its leads through majestic trees down over the creek on maintained paths and bridges. Plant identification signage inform as you go along. Take a break and just listen to the wind in the leaves on any of the scattered benches along the way.
Truly a step back in time as you visit the Tri-Village Exhibit.
