Another museum is somewhat hidden away and off the beaten path. Still, it is also well worth a visit: The Neal Taylor Nature Center at Cachuma Lake. It is like
At the time, the school had only four classrooms for all eight grades. It was located where the Buellton Post Office and library are now. It was the mid-1950s, and the principal realized that most of his students came from modest farm families, did not travel much and did not have television; they were somewhat isolated. He wanted to expose his students to the outside world, so he arranged monthly field trips to various places throughout Santa Barbara County for the upper grades.
Today, the Santa Ynez Valley is blessed with fantastic museums. The Elverhoj, the Wildling and the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum that houses the Parks-Janeway Carriage House — all are excellent and worth a visit.When my two sons were growing up, and later with my granddaughters, we visited often. At first, they were impressed with the mammal and bird exhibits.
During COVID, when the inside of the center had to be closed, volunteers worked to upgrade and expand the outdoor botanical garden. New native species were added along with expanded paths, additional benches and new labels with QR codes. Now, visitors can use their phones to look up the species and learn how the Chumash used the plant in their daily lives. Wow, technology!The nature center was established in 1988 in the original ranch house of the area.
Since its establishment in 1988, the nature center has expanded to include more exhibits and innovative programs such as the Food for Thought lecture series; Creepy Creatures, a workshop series where people can see up close and learn about snakes, spiders, etc.; kids and adult fishing workshops; Going Batty, a living exhibit of bats; Trout in the Classroom; and various wildlife conservation programs.
The amazing fact is admission to the nature center is by donation, and there is little or no charge for its special programs. The nature center is totally funded by donations and is an independent, nonprofit organization. The center's major fundraiser, the annual fish derby, is so important.I highly recommend a visit, especially on the weekend of April 23 and 24, as the center will be hosting its 25th annual fish derby.
