Ventura County 150 Memories
Title
Ventura County 150 Memories
Description
Ventura County 150 Memories (VC150 Memories) is a project organized by the County of Ventura and the Museum of Ventura County to collect memories from residents across the county.
VC 150 Memories is a celebration of the people, places, and events that make Ventura County such a unique and special place to live. Think of it as a Community Photo Album where every person in the county can create a section of the album by using Tags to categorize their photos.
As the project grows, shared experiences will emerge. Residents will have the opportunity to see their connections with others. The entire collection is archived at the Museum of Ventura County so that future generations will be able to look back through the “photo album” of the people in Ventura County in 2023.
