The Malibu/Ventura Chapter teams up with the Los Angeles Chapter to paint the grounds of Rancho Camulos’ complex of restored buildings, fountains, and gardens. This event will take place on November 19, 2022 from 10am to 2pm. We welcome you to bring your family to enjoy a picnic lunch on the grounds and stay for an artist review of the paintings after the program.

History of Rancho Camulos

Rancho Camulos was purchased by Ygnacio Del Valle in 1853. The rancho was originally a Tataviam Indian village formerly known as Kamulus. Many Tataviam Indians remained at Rancho Camulos, residing there and even working on the grounds. By Ygnacio’s death in 1880, the ranch had grown to about 1,290 acres of citrus trees, vineyards, almonds, grains, and up to 200 residents.

The Grounds

Today, the Rancho Camulos Museum, a 40-acre National Historic Landmark, sits within the 1,800 acre working ranch known as the Camulos Ranch Company. The grounds feature:
