tripadvisorMuseum was open extra hours due to Apple Festival 10-4 instead of usual 12-4. Staffed by volunteers who are knowledgeable about local history. Excellent display of Kawaiisu baskets.
MoreWent to town for the annual Apple Festival which was very nice especially for such a small place. But the museum was closed. What a pity. With so many visitors to the festival it should have made a point of being open. The building itself was a 1930's vintage Southern California public building in miniature. Well taken care of. Former public library. Across the street was another museum building, the Errea House. It's garden was open and I very much enjoyed sitting on a bench in the shade away from the hub-bub of the festival and bright sunshine.
MoreWonderful little museum with a friendly and knowledgeable staff/volunteer. As a visitor to the West coast, it was great to learn about the history and people of the immediate region. Great little gift shop area too.
MoreThoroughly enjoyed wandering around this small museum which has some very interesting exhibits. Mary, who was on duty, was a lovely lady and told us more about some of the items on display, and the local area. We then went into the house across the road which is also part of the museum. This was lovely to look round and brought back a lot of memories. Al, the docent was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and told us a lot of interesting things. Two great places to visit. I
Morenice little museum to visit, very educational. We stayed about 20 minutes. If you are in the area, you should definite visit the place.
