In 1959, a trial took place in the old Ventura County Courthouse – now Ventura City Hall – that was described at the time as bizarre, macabre and just plain weird. It drew reporters from around the world, and spectators lined up as early as 5 a.m. to try to get a seat in the courtroom. It was the…
How will future generations learn about us? In this digital age, will we leave a mark or a clue as to who we were or what we thought? In this episode, we continue our interview with Charles Johnson, who recently retired after 30 years as the director of the research library at the Museum of Ventur…

These are some of the spirits who roam the Oxnard area, according to local writer Richard Senate. And at Rancho Camulos near Piru? Those are happy ghosts there, says …
On a tiny plot of land where Etting Road meets Pleasant Valley Road in Oxnard, grave markers stick up from behind a protective wrought iron fence. Some look like traditional gravestones, but most are obelisks. This is the historic Japanese cemetery of Oxnard, where the first burial took place in 19…
The fairs weren’t always held at what is today the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Fair officials say the 1874 celebration coincided with the grand opening of the Ventura Trotting Park, a one-mile racetrack below the bluffs at Pierpont Bay, which is now the Ventura Keys. The next year, agricultural and…
