Current Exhibit

The Past on a Plate: The Photographs of John Calvin Brewster


Ventura County life between 1874 and 1909 is captured on the glass plate negatives of Ventura’s first photographer. Brewster’s images,
as well as artifacts from then, provide a fascinating look at that time period’s streets, neighborhoods, movers & shakers, and ordinary citizens.

The exhibit runs April 25-August 17 at new 89 California Street site.
