Simi Valley Ghost Tour at Strathern Park Humorously Haunts Again
They are back. That is the Ghosts of Simi Valley’s past. Strathern Historical Park located in the west end of Simi Valley is home to many of the old buildings that made up early Simi Valley and is the repository of the city’s history. Set in and around many of the historical buildings, Simi Valley’s departed citizens come to life. I was invited to the dress rehearsal last night and had a great time coming back to a great show I had not attended for a few years.
The show has been at the park almost every year for the last 10 years. The Ghost Tour is run by the Ventura County Cultural Association and the Simi Valley Historical Society together as a fundraiser to benefit both organizations. The Ghost Tour is directed and produced by Jan Glasband who has been involved in producing community theater and programs for the youth and adult of Simi Valley for more than 15 years.
While this is not the typical haunted house, you can be assured you will be entertained, amused and even learn something about Simi Valley’s past. Several of the more eccentric departed citizen’s colorful stories include Grama Prisbey of Bottle Village, Finis E Yoakam and Krishna Venta. This show is a great family outing. The Ghost Tour is a walking tour through Strathern Historical Park at night so you might need a sweater. The Tour takes about an hour and there are 13 Ghostly stops.
You can meet the Ghosts of Simi Valley as they once lived…and died. The Ghosts will be walking on Friday nights from 7-10pm, Saturday nights from 6-10 pm and Sundays from 6-9 pm. Ghost Tours depart every 10 minutes and are approximately 1 hour.
Your support of this event helps generate funds to maintain Simi Valley’s Historical Park and will help Jan Glasband and the Ventura County Cultural Association to continue to provide community theater and arts programs for our youth and young at heart.
