The Conejo Valley Historical Society was formed in 1965 to save the original Grand Union Hotel from demolition. With that success behind them, the Society developed a docent program and began leading tours of the Hotel (rebuilt in 1976 as the Stagecoach Inn). Fast forward to today, and experience the Stagecoach Inn Museum as the long-standing and beloved member of the community it is, offering family-oriented special events, lectures, school programs, and a fun and friendly group of docents. Come by and visit the Stagecoach Inn Museum Complex and be surprised by all we have to offer including an 1870 country school, a working Blacksmith Shop, an outdoor and indoor Chumash Indian exhibit, Pioneer House, Adobe, Carriage House, and the Heritage Oak patio and trellis. Come by and see what's happening today!
