Camarillo Ranch House
The Camarillo Ranch House is historically significant for its association with Adolfo Camarillo, affectionately called “the last Spanish don.” He was one of the most successful ranchers, largest landowners and influential citizens in Ventura County history. The two-story Queen Anne style house was built in 1892. The 4.49 acre parcel on which it, a mule barn and stable sit is all that remains of the 10,000 acre Camarillo Ranch. The property is owned by the City of Camarillo and managed and operated by the Camarillo Ranch Foundation. The house was restored in 1999-2000 by the City and functions as a house museum while the property accommodates various events, including weddings. The house is a Ventura County Landmark, a California Point of Historic Interest and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
