The Oxnard Historic Farm Park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2023, as this landmark is home to numerous buildings dating back to the 1800s. A more recent addition to the park’s oldest feature, a brick residence and winery built in 1869, has been the four stained glass panels installed on each wall. These pieces depict the four major families of produce grown in Ventura County. The windows were donated to the park by some of Ventura’s prominent agricultural families.

The Oxnard Historic Farm Park still grows many of the crops its historical exhibits display. The landmark boasts both an avocado and lemon tree orchard, as well as a well-kept garden of plants used by the Chumash people. The Chumash Garden in particular has become a point of pride for the establishment, as aside from its colorful scenery, the garden offers guests examples of building sustainable, practical and water-conserving gardens.

Set up in a square formation in the center of the Oxnard Historic Farm Park are four restaurants local to Oxnard, Calif. From the Spanish Hills Club to the Twisted Oak Tavern, each restaurant set up a tent to serve their respective lima bean dishes. Guests at the Lima Bean Festival were given the opportunity to vote on which restaurant’s dish was their favorite by placing dried lima beans into a jar labeled with the restaurant’s name.

As guests enter the Lima Bean Festival, hosted in Oxnard, Calif., by the Oxnard Historic Farm Park, they are quickly shown how significant the agricultural history within Ventura County is by the countless antiques, displays and plaques.

Along with historical information, volunteers are tasked with selling two-pound bags of lima beans, with the money from sales going to further the park’s restorations.

Ventura residents are split over the future of Main Street Moves. For some, the car-free downtown has created a lively gathering space. For others, the closure has left property owners and businesses struggling.

On the night of Sept. 11, 2025 the Foothill Tech Dragons circled up together before their first league game. With the crowd cheering for the Dragons, they brought high intensity and energy no matter the circumstances during the game. However the Dragons lost in four sets.

Lilac Reyes ’26 goes for a hit against Laguna’s strong defensive blockers. Reyes showed many talents during the game, with her multiple hits, digs, and serves. Reyes was a key player and also willing to get to the ball when Foothill needed scrappy and smart plays.

Setter Emily Turner ’26 (number 4) sets up Fiona Holt ’28 (number5) for a hit against Laguna Blanca. Both players showed tremendous efforts with multiple plays each, in the team’s first league game.

Construction workers of Toro Enterprises, Inc. lay down new concrete on Telegraph Road. The project of resurfacing Telegraph Road began late July 2025 and is expected to continue until January 2026. With the construction happening only on weekdays, students going to nearby schools face delays in traffic daily.

Along with resurfacing the road, the project also hopes to make the roadway from Ashwood Ave. to Hill Road safer and more accessible. Safety updates include, new pavement, buffered bike lanes, pedestrian push buttons that comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and curb repairs. Although this construction is essential in helping keep our community safe, it poses challenges for people commuting to work and school. The construction times start around the time drivers head to work, so traffic becomes heavy and many people have experienced being late.

The Telegraph Road Resurfacing Project is hoping to improve safety and accessibility to commuters and visitors alike. The project is funded by California’s SB1 Gas Tax – Road Repair and Accountability Act – and Ventura’s Measure O local sales tax, and was given to Toro Enterprises, Inc. to complete. Construction is expected to go on until January 2026, temporarily slowing down students’ daily drives to school.
