  A hidden piece of history that more people need to know about! I learned quite a bit across the many sections, including the date museum, schoolhouse, and gardens. The house & indoor sections are air-conditioned, which is a huge plus. The only the descriptions and information flow could be more organized. After 30 years of coming to the desert, I'm glad I finally found this place, they just need to do a better job of marketing & organizing events so others can find it too!

  Very well-done Museum housed in a 1920s Adobe building that served as a doctors office and residence. Additional buildings included a dentist office, blacksmith shop, schoolhouse and auditorium. Grounds are beautiful. First full weekend of each month is free admission.

  We really enjoyed our visit to the Coachella Valley History Museum. It was interesting and educational, perfect for both kids and adults. The exhibits were engaging and gave us a good sense of the area's history. The staff was helpful and added to our overall positive experience. It's a great spot for a family outing.

  It was a nice review of the valley history and was worth the reasonable price.

  We are staying at an RV park in Indio and were looking for things to do. The museum came up so we went over. The museum is only open Fridays thru Mondays so check to see if you decide to go. Admission for seniors was $6 per person which was reasonable. We had a docent available to show us the museum and she did a great job. They cover agriculture and the railroad from the beginnings. The number one crop here is dates followed by table grapes. A lot of displays inluding a 1909 schoolhouse which is interesting to see. They raise dates here so they have a date museum as well as a blaksmith shop and even a water tower.
