Taste of History 2026
The Silent Movie Era
Celebrating Ventura County’s Golden Age of Film
Dinner Fundraiser
Thursday, September 10 | Sherwood Country Club
Step back into the shimmering world of the 1920s, when the silver screen lit up the dreams of a generation. This year’s Taste of History celebrates the Silent Movie Era of Ventura County.
Guests will be transported into an evening of cinematic glamour, fine dining, vintage cocktails, lively entertainment, and dancing inspired by the Golden Age of film. Enjoy a silent and live auction where you can outbid your friends, along with a paddle raise. All proceeds support the Museum’s mission to preserve and share Ventura County’s rich history, art, and culture.
Upon arrival, you choose your role for the evening: will you be a member of the press, a Hollywood star, a film critic, or an adoring fan?
