A small, charming trove of gold-rush and pioneer-era relics, old photos and mining tools right as you roll into town on Highway 78. It's an easy, affordable stop that gives kids context for the mine tours, and little ones get in free.

$5 per person, which is a bargain! Even helped the nice lady at the desk with some solitaire while we paid! great collection of mining and general history of Julian. Learned some interesting things about the Gold rush there and the Bailey family that helped found the mining town.

$5 per adult. Well worth it if you like ya some history stuff. The guy working the front was very nice. There was a good bit too see, but really I think about 1 hour would be plenty of time to read most of the stuff in there. Good stop while visiting JULIAN OK BYE

$3.00 admission. Lots of interesting things to look at. Great for anyone into the pioneer days. Many preserved animals (Taxidermy is a way of preparing, stuffing and/or mounting an animal for display or study.) and antiques.

This museum is jam packed with artifacts, clothing, art and tools and such, each with significance and history with the town of Julian. The people who work/volunteer here to preserve the town’s rich history do a wonderful job! If you’re visiting Julian, be respectful and give this museum a visit and learn a thing or two about where you get those delicious apple pies from!
