Located on Santa Clara Street and Chestnut Street. If you exit from the 101 Ventura Freeway onto California Street go west and make a right onto Santa Clara. It is on the left side.
I thought this structure was pretty neat because the city took the time to put a beautiful sculpture on the front. Leave a Comment

The mission survived earthquakes and pirates. It's land and possessions were seized by the Mexican government, but later after the state was part of the union Bishop Joseph Sadoc Alemany petitioned the United States Government to return that part of the Mission holdings comprising the church, clergy residence, cemetery, orchard, and vineyard to the Catholic Church. The request was granted in the form of a Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln on May 23, 1862.
This mission is still a very active catholic church. I was so impressed with how they have kept the interior as it was over two hundred years. The paintings on the walls are all original and so old. Masses are still held here, so be sure not to interrupt a mass during your visit. It has a gift shop and mini museum and a beautiful patio area too.

Built as a mostest home of Emigdio Ortega and his family in 1857 for over forty years. These modest homes once lined the streets, but this one endured time. The Ortega family is famed for being the one of pioneer families and for discovering the San Francisco Bay. Also receiving one of the first Spanish land grants. Although, not a rich man by far this simple Vaquero built a simple 20 x 40 foot adobe home. Enduring a flood which did destroy one room, he added two others. Ortegas raised eight of thirteen children until he died in 1896. His son Emilio used the home to start a business "Pioneer Ortega Chili". Not soon it was sold to various owners which was used as a home, restaurant, police headquarters, the Ventura boys club and even a speakeasy. In 1921 the City of Ventura bought the property and it remains as a reminder of our past.
Open 9am - 4pm.

 The courtyard and bell by keida84
4500 acres of land which were divided, were awarded to Don Raymundo Olivas and Felipe Loranzana in 1842 for services rendered as soldiers in the Mexican Army. Don Raymundo Olivas and his wife, Dona Teodora took the acreage closest to the ocean and completed the main house in 1851.
They were able to build a commercially successful working ranch which has shaped Ventura County for what it is today.
On a sad note, Dona Teodora was brutally murdered by a band a marauding thieves. Her spirit is said to wander about the balcony, living room and kitchen. Especially the kitchen! We took the ghost tour and when we walked from the kitchen through a small pantry to the outside it was almost like an icy hand was holding you back from exiting. Very scary! For one brief moment I thought I wasn't going to be able to get out of that room.
So if you like history or if you just like a great haunted house don't miss the Olivas Park Adobe. Leave a Comment Address: 4200 Olivas Park DrivePhone: 1 805 644 4346Directions: 101 freeway north or south bound exit Victoria. Heading south towards the ocean. Turn right on Olivas Park Drive. Cross Telephone Road, up 1/4 mile on the left hand side.

This 1,700-foot pier was built in 1872 making it one of California's oldest wooden piers. It underwent an extensive $3.2 million renovation in 1993 to restore it to it's former glory, but not without adding some wonderful features. It now has these wonderful display panels that educate those about currents, tides, local fish, local history, and much more. It has a bait shop, snack bar, benches, restrooms, gift shop and a wonderful seafood restaurant. Leave a Comment
