State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.
Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help.
Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss.

Santa Susana Railroad Depot and Museum

The Santa Susana Railroad Depot and Museum began as the Southern Pacific depot in 1903. Originally built along what is now Los Angeles Street and Tapo Street a few miles away, it was moved to the present site in the 1990s. The depot is a model #22 with both passenger and freight areas, originally open at one end, now closed in. The depot was vital to the develpement of Simi Valley and Santa Susana and once saw the export of agricultural products. Today, AmTrak and MetroLink trains speed by, but n longer stop.
A large model railroad, operated by the Santa Susana Model Railroad Club, can be observed in one room of the depot. The model railroad models many parts of California geography.
