Lompoc History Museum:

Staffed by volunteers, the museum is a small town beauty. Housed in a pretty victorian house near downtown, just a couple blocks south on north H street, it is marvelous for what it has: miniatures of indian villages, native animals and plants, history of the valley and the flower fields, Vandenburg. Link to the museum's web page:

The native indians of the area apparently had paradise, with clams, oaks for acorns, reeds to make basket, NO TAXES, NO SMOG and no television or internet access. Here are some pix:

• reed baskets made by the Indians from marsh reeds
• indian artifacts: bone awls, shell scrapers, needles and more
• diorama of native animals: cougars, coyotes
• history pix of area
• flower fields history pictures
