Rancho Camulos National Historic Landmark Museum will participate in the 10th Annual Ventura County Farm Day on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Rancho Camulos is located on Highway 126 at the eastern end of Ventura County, approximately 2 miles east of Piru. From Santa Clarita: From I-5 take State Route 126 west for 10 miles. Rancho Camulos will be on your left.

Visitors can tour a 1920 adobe that was built as a combination Ranch office and Ranch Manager’s residence, see other historic farm buildings and learn about the history of Rancho Camulos agriculture from 1839 to the present day.

The present 1,800-acre working Camulos Ranch, established by Ygnacio del Valle in 1853, was carved out of the 48,612 acre Rancho San Francisco, granted in 1839 to Ygnacio’s father Antonio del Valle.

By the time of Ygnacio’s death in 1880, the ranch had grown from a few hundred head of-cattle in the 1840s to a thriving, virtually self-contained ranch. It consisted of approximately 1,290 acres of citrus, vineyards, almonds, grain and vegetables.

Throughout its long history Rancho Camulos has had a diverse and rich agricultural history. The first oranges grown and shipped commercially from what is now Ventura County were from the Camulos Ranch in 1876. In addition, the rancho produced annual crops of citrus, almonds, walnuts, apricots, peaches, wheat, corn and barley. Grapevines were also cultivated at Camulos for the production of wine and brandy.
