Amateur photographs taken by Mary Gally depicting the buildings and landscape of the Ojai Valley in California in the late 19th century. Photographs show the area surrounding the Oak Glen Cottages, an early tourist resort run by Gally and her husband, and include views of the cottages, the Presbyterian Church, trees, cattle, a pool in the San Antonio Creek, a beekeeper, and Chumash Indian artifacts. Included with the collection is a typescript copy of a two-page reminiscence made by Gally in 1942 of her to California and Ojai in 1885 and her years at the cottages (photPF 20096). The reminiscence includes a description of the Chinese labor force she and her husband employed at the resort.
