In this lecture, we will take a look at photos and will review the archaeological history of the Conejo Valley beginning with the Chumash era, delving into the Spanish then Mexican periods, and then through pioneers arriving in the 1870s. We will also go into detail about some of the families that were here long term. This lecture will mostly focus on the Conejo Valley pre-1900.
