Robert Brown's life (obituary)
Robert
Owen Browne/ROB life information.pdf
From Brown's Grandson on the Ojai Museum:
"as I remember it was very small, out near the end of Ojai,
near where the Garden Terrace is now, across from Soule
Park. Then he moved it to the Old Fire House (it was on Fox
Street) - he then was in the planning of moving it to it's
current location near the theater on West Ojai Avenue before
he retired from curating. At any rate... it never
closed... it just moved."
