These are places that can be real gems. What are ones that you have really enjoyed?

 

The Eastern California Museum in Independence is one of our favorites.

Much like Will Rodgers, I’ve never been to a Museum I didn’t like.

 

Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area

 

I’ve toured this twice, once in the 70’s and again in 2017.

Not technically a museum, but it captures and catalogs history, and I like it.
