| Facility: | Historic Camarillo Ranch |
| Description: | Walk through the richly restored ranch home and experience the grandeur of residing in a 6,000 square-foot house. The breathtaking Victorian exhibits two staircases, 12-foot ceilings, extensive interior woodwork, and a generous wrap around porch. The house was built in 1892 by 28-year-old Adolfo Camarillo for his wife Isabel and their young family. An imposing 17-room mansion, the home was well suited for a man who would serve as a Ventura County Supervisor, manage a 10,000-acre ranch, found a city, develop a breed of horses (the Camarillo White Horses), and one day be known as the "Last Spanish Don". Camarillo lived in the house until his death in 1958. It was then occupied by family members and for a brief period by Augustine monks until it was acquired by the City of Camarillo in 1998. Guests are also invited to stroll through the gardens, explore the massive root system of the towering Moreton Bay Fig Tree, and visit the gift shop. |
