Best Blacksmith Thousand Oaks Near Me

4worldlovers:

Travel back in time to the late 1800s, when the West was still wild and the Conejo Valley’s wide-open spaces beckoned to pioneers. Step into the parlour of the Stagecoach Inn, where costumed docents will lead you on a guided tour and entertain you with tales of history and legend.


Rooms at the Inn are decorated with antique furnishings and display all the awesome knick knacks that Victorians loved. The elegant dining room is set for dinner and the Innkeepers' rooms upstairs are fitted out just as they would have been in 1876. Many items were donated by the families of original Conejo Valley pioneers.


The Timber School, a replica of the one-room schoolhouse that served the Conejo Valley from 1888, is complete with blackboards, desks, an organ and a woodstove. Come inside and get some "book larnin'." Kids may sit at an antique desk, use a slate, and ring the Timber School bell. Imagine the fun to be had attending class here back in the day (when teachers had a ruler to rap knuckles and gave lashes to rule-breakers!)


Mosey over to the Carriage House to see the stagecoaches and learn about Charley Parkhurst, aka “One-eyed Charley,” known as one of the best stagecoach drivers in California (but ‘Ol Charley has a secret… see if you can find out what it is!).


The Blacksmith Shop has a working forge where you may find the smithy at work, pounding hot metal into tools and trinkets. Ask about our Blacksmith Training and freshly forged items for sale in the Emporium.


At the Tri-Village exhibit, you can have a look inside dwellings that reflect the three historic eras of occupation and settlement in the Conejo Valley: Chumash, Spanish, and Pioneer. Explore more and you'll also find the Nature Trail and our 300-year-old Sycamore Tree.


Head downstairs at the Stagecoach Inn to Anderson Hall, where an extensive collection of replicated and archaeological artifacts of the Chumash are housed. Exhibits display tools, intricate baskets, games, and everyday use items, as well as fossils unearthed in the Conejo Valley. The Russell Library has shelves of books related to Conejo Valley history and exhibits at the museum, all waiting for you to turn their pages.


Upstairs in the Stagecoach Inn is the Kilbourne Collection of "Gramophones, Graphophones, Phonographs, Grafonolas, Victrolas, Amberolas, and various other items related to the beginnings of recorded music". Listen to My Merry Oldsmobile played on a hand-cranked Graphophone!

In 18th- and 19th-century Europe and America, a lock of hair was a treasured memento, signifying love, affection, and friendship. Jewelry fashioned to hold hair was worn to mourn or commemorate a deceased person, or it could be exchanged between two people as a one- of-a-kind sentimental reminder of a loving relationship. Our extensive collection of ornamental hairwork provides an up-close and intimate look at a forgotten art. Forget me Knot...A most unique exhibit upstairs at the Stagecoach Inn Museum.

Washing, drying, starching, ironing, mending - caring for our clothes once took two full days of back-breaking labor every week. What motivated women to tackle “the herculean task which all women dread”, even in the most exhausting conditions?


With antique irons and laundry tools galore, this hands-on exhibit invites you to explore "women's work" and social hierarchies, patents and the age of electricity, and the development of household technology.


Our rose garden might have graced the Stagecoach Inn during its turn-of-the-century heyday. The garden offers an overview of Old Roses suitable for Ventura County. Enjoy the garden for its beauty and history. Perhaps you'll decide to devote part of your own garden to these graceful survivors of another era.

The Heritage Oak Grove is a quiet place to sit among young Coast Live Oak trees and learn about the magnificent centuries-old specimen that once graced this spot. Here you will find rustic seating fashioned from the mighty oak’s limbs, as well as sections of her broad trunk telling her history through the day she was felled for safety reasons on February 5, 2021.
