Stop by this Ventura County Historical Landmark (#165) and view our vintage letterpress; enjoy a blacksmith demonstration, live music, and a bite to eat!

What to Expect: Visitors will get to explore our one-acre historic location that features antique tractors, vintage equipment, and sample crops that showcase the agricultural heritage of the Oxnard plains. Bring the whole family and enjoy a kids’ craft table, food trucks, rich history displays/books, and live music by Whole Hog Duo.

About Oxnard Historic Farm Park: As the pioneer settlement of the first farmers in the Oxnard Plain, the Oxnard Historic Farm Park is home to the two oldest buildings (the 1870 Farmhouse and Winery) built by Gottfried Maulhardt, a towering 1800s Canary Island Date Palm, an 1890s Carriage House, an 1870s spring wagon that once belonged to Johannes Borchard, two vineyards of 1880s Zinfandel Blanc grapes of cuttings from Santa Cruz Island, two 1903 lima bean threshers built by the Ventura Implement Company, 8 vintage tractors, plows and other farm implements, a lemon orchard, an avocado grove, and five historically representative gardens…oh, and that doesn’t even account for our numerous exhibitions of historic photos, and farm implements that show the evolution of farming in the Oxnard Plain over the past three centuries!
