"Really awesome farm experience! Very knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. Grape vines. Native garden. Fun walk around with lots of implements from farming past."
"Very nice venue. So much history about Oxnard. Brandon , who was the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Gave us so much information about different landmarks and buildings. With the oldest buildings and trees in Oxnard."
"This hidden gem is nestled in the heart of Oxnard, holding on to important regional history. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about Oxnard's farming history. The gardens and landscaping are beautiful, and the farming equipment on display are well preserved relics from a simpler time. There is ample seating for tons of people to enjoy live music and participate in seasonal workshops. This is a great field trip for families or couples of all ages."
"The farm is a tad small but really nice. There are sugar beets, sunflowers, kale, and lemon plants. There is also some old but cool looking equipment"
"I discovered the Oxnard Historic Park Foundation in the "Passport 2 History" booklet. I'm always looking for interesting and different places to see with my three year old. The grounds are cool and have a nice display of farming equipment, tractors and vegetation. There was a fundraiser setting up when we visited, so keep them in mind for your next rental. There are two structures to explore. The first has some cool artifacts in it and has more of a museum feel. We enjoyed the cool large safe and admired the player piano, though it wasn't currently working. Then we were showed where the main building is and were given the okay to self-explore. It's important to note that they are currently fundraising for the first phase of restoring the house. Unlike many of the other historical sites and museums we've visited, this one is just being put together. Upon exploring the second floor, nearly all the doors had spider webs (complete with spiders) across them, and most of the rooms are empty. There was some cool things, like the piano which my son loved. There was some cool old signs and historical memorabilia, but I'm more excited to watch this place grow into a place of beauty. Right now it is fun as it has that kind of "exploring and old haunted house" kind of vibe. So just note the above and don't let the kids wander too far in front of you as I could imagine injury happening at the moment. As far as rating, I almost gave this a 3... but since it's a work in progress, it's free and the grounds are lovely... I think it deserves a solid 4. Here's the key: There are also TWO playgrounds just next door if you'd like to let the kids play... or better yet, bundle a few of the passport 2 history museums together! We visited The Pleasant Valley Historical Society Museum & Botanical Garden AND the Reyes Adobe all on the same day!"
