Hacienda de Quimichis and the Bard Family, 1909-1935

Professor Verónica Castillo-Muñoz will be the featured speaker at the Friends of the Bard Mansion Quarterly Dinner on the grounds of the Bard family’s historic home and gardens in Port Hueneme.
She will share the fruits of her research for her second book, about the people who worked on a 75,000 acre ranch, Hacienda de Quimichis, on the west coast of Mexico, that was owned by Bard and other Ventura County investors early in the twentieth century. Thanks to Professor Castillo-Muñoz’s efforts, the Mexican National Museum of Anthropology in Tepic will share an exhibition on the history of the Hacienda de Quimichis with the Ventura County Museum.
