Artifacts revealing 3,500 years of five different cultures have been found on the site of this archeological museum.  Named long-time Ventura Mayor Al Albinger, it was built on the home site of saloonkeeper and early mayor Angel Escondon. Evidence of an early Indian culture dating from 1600 B.C. and the later Chumash Indians from 1500 onwards, are exhibited along with objects dating from the founding of the mission through the early 1900's. The original mission foundation and an earth oven are in the dig area outside.
