  • Stagecoach Inn Museum 51 South Ventu Park Road Thousand Oaks, CA, 91320 United States (map)

The place to be this season for historical holiday cheer, festive lights, and non-stop entertainment…

Celebrate 145 years of the Grand Union Hotel for the Holiday at the Inn 2021. Decor will represent the many uses of the first commercial building in the Conejo Valley starting with the Grand Union Hotel that opened in 1876 and reopened on July 4, 1976 as the Stagecoach Inn Museum. Did you know that the building was used for church services, school, restaurants and much more? Unwrap the Grand Union Hotel tells the story of the building, with a patriotic twist in decor, music and lights.
