I stumbled upon this museum during a road trip through California last year and was totally charmed! That Native American artifact collection is so much more extensive than I expected for a local museum. Has anyone checked out their rotating photography gallery recently? I’m planning to revisit this summer and wondering if the current exhibition is worth planning around. Also, those volunteer guides are absolutely the highlight – this sweet older gentleman named Frank (I think?) told me fascinating stories about the railway station that weren’t on any of the plaques. For those who’ve visited multiple times, do they change the kids’ Discovery Zone themes seasonally? My niece is obsessed with history costumes and would flip over this place! Oh, and did anyone else find that cute little bakery about two blocks away? Perfect post-museum snack spot!
