    Museum's are always good to know how society was and how life was at that point in time, I had no idea that Tulare, CA. was A rural/farmland area... I found out so much from the volunteer cleaner, so much knowledge of the area is A fantastic quality, The ONLY problem was my wife and I had to fly out from Fresno (FAT) A few hours later, We both decided we definitely need to visit Tulare, CA. Again... It's such A beautiful region of California!!

    I visited this museum on a cross state adventure from San Francisco to Anaheim back in February of 2020. Went in with no expectations, but as a museum manager myself I love visiting local establishments. When my friend and I went there was a military discount which wound up being free admission, and then, much to our surprise, the curator/director gave us a personal tour of the entire place. He was fantastic! Excellent at interpreting, knew his community history, and made the museum and it's historical pieces and stories that much more interesting, and engaging! We loved it! I wish I could remember his name, and honestly am slightly embarrassed that I do not, because his tour was among my favorite things in he entire trip. Upon exiting we purchased some books and reproductions of local canned fruit labels from the museum store. If I could give 10 stars to the dedication of this museum and it's personnel, volunteers, and community I would. I wish I had written this sooner, but I'm glad that I can now. Thank you so much, and continue with your mission and the excellent resources and work you provide for local visitors and travelers alike!

    Very nice museum. Set up well, very organized. They have hand held devices you can take with you that tells the story of each exhibit. I was impressed with how much there is to see here.

👍👍 Medium size park that has baseball/softball ⚾fields with lights. In addition to that it also has a basketball 🏀 court with lights. It's a good location to play sports and create good chemistry with your fellow teammates.
