The Lompoc Museum is a non-profit organization that is supported by donations, membership fees,…read moregrants from local agencies, and an annual stipend from the City of Lompoc. Family membership is an extremely good deal at $25 a year or two years for $45. The Museum was formed in 1969 when Clarence "Pop" Ruth, a local educator, donated his extensive personal collection of archaeological materials to the City, on the condition that they be kept on display in the newly formed museum. At the same time, Lompoc had just constructed their new library on North Avenue, and the old Carnegie building stood vacant. Upstairs in the museum are Native American materials, mostly Chumash; downstairs are historic displays, photographs, and fossils from the local diatomaceous earth mine. If you are a member of the Lompoc Museum Association, make sure you check out the small gift shop area on the main floor. You get a discount, and there are a lot of unique, interesting, and educational books and gifts and jewelry. The Museum is easy to find (its on south H Street across the street from the small city park and the big white church, right where the beautiful Italian Stone Pines begin) and it only costs a dollar to walk in.

My daughter has been dancing at the Classical School of Ballet for two years now. She has told me…read morethat it has been very enjoyable, and she has learned a lot of new ballet techniques there (as well as has made a lot of new friends). The teaching methods of Miss Angela are good - not too silly, but not too strict - and all of the girls seem enthusiastic every day the come in for lessons. Indeed, some of the children's parents also took lessons at the Classical School of Ballet when they were younger, so it's a very family-like environment. Miss Angela puts on large, impressive performances every other year, so that each year in between is focused purely on technique. All in all, it's a nice place to learn ballet.
