Carpinteria History Museum
The town, the myth, the legend. If you’ve ever wondered if Carpinteria really is The World’s Safest Beach, which legend of Chismahoo is the real one, or if, indeed, Trader Joe’s is coming to town, you won’t want to miss Carpinteria Myths and Misinformation, the first in the 2025 Talk & Talkback Speaker Series hosted by the Carpinteria Valley Museum of History on Feb. 3 from 5 to 6 p.m. at the museum, 956 Maple Ave. in downtown Carpinteria.
Facilitated by Amy Orozco, Carpinteria Myths and Misinformation will take a look at some of the myths Carpinterians hold about themselves and their community. “The focus will be on the ‘Talkback’ part of the series. This isn’t going to be a Carpinteria-according-to-me lecture,” said Orozco, a museum board of trustee and local journalist. “We’re looking forward to conversation and learning about what others think. Attendees don’t have to join in the conversation, but they certainly will be encouraged to.”
Carpinteria Myths and Misinformation is free for Carpinteria Valley Museum members. The next talk in the series is Rincon Point and the California Dream with Stephen Bates and Vince Burns scheduled for 5 p.m. on March 20 at the museum.
