Located in Lang Ranch, at the top of Westlake Boulevard near Avenida de los Arboles (3290 Lang Ranch Parkway, Thousand Oaks), the Chumash Interpretative Center hosts the Chumash Indian Museum, housing various Chumash artifacts and history, nature walks and tours of the beautiful local Oakbrook Regional Park area. The museum is open from Thursday through Sunday fromnoon to5 p.m. Admission price of $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for Seniors and $3.00 for children 12 and under $10.00 for family.
Or just stroll around the 436 acre Oakbrook Regional Park that the Chumash Center is located on. There are hiking trails galore back here. Oakbrook is a County designated historical landmark (designated in 1983). There are 11 protected archeological Chumash in a narrow canyon at Oakbrook.
Something really neat they often do is hold authentic "pow wows." I used to live in the Lang Ranch area and would occasionally be mesmerized by beating drums on my local runs at sunset. Sounded really fun. Contact the Center for more information about these and other events, field trips, etc. at www.chumashindianmuseum.com or 805.492.8076. Email is chumashindianmuseum@verizon.net.
