Chumash Indian Museum

THOUSAND OAKS, CALIFORNIA

About This Museum: The Chumash Indian Museum features displays and artifacts detailing the daily life of the Chumash Indians who once thrived in the southern California coastal regions.


Street Address:
Chumash Indian Museum
3290 Lang Ranch Parkway
Thousand Oaks, CA 91362
(MAP)

Basic Information: At the museum there are displays which offer a window into the daily lives of the Chumash Indians. The inside of the museum is relatively small, basically occupying one large room. However, there is more to see and do outside the main building on the museum grounds.


Near the entrance of the museum you'll see this replica of a tomol, a type of boat used by the Chumash people.


Points-Of-Interest: Picture above is one of the Chumash Indian dwelling replicas which are located in the area behind the museum building. The doorway is a bit small but you can go inside and take a better look.


Additional Things To See And Do: There is a hiking trail which starts near the museum and goes back among the shady oaks.  There is no admission fee to visit the museum grounds and outside areas.  There is only a small fee to enter inside the museum building.  Thus you can visit the hiking trail without paying the museum's admission fee.
