Explore the Museum
The San Fernando Valley Historical Society runs a museum all about the Valley's amazing history. The museum is housed inside the Andres Pico Adobe, which is a famous historical landmark. An adobe is a type of building made from sun-dried bricks of earth and straw, which was a common way to build in early California.
Inside the museum, you can see rooms that look just like they did many years ago. There are also displays of antiques and other interesting objects from the Valley's past. The museum is surrounded by gardens that are planted to look like they did in that time period. It's located near another famous landmark, the Mission San Fernando Rey de España.
