Idyllwild Area Historical Society Museum

Idyllwild, CA

★★★★★4.8(75 Google reviews)

A friendly little free museum preserving the story of the San Jacinto Mountains, from the Cahuilla people to early logging and resort days. An easy, low-key indoor stop when kids need a break from sun or trails. Since it's mainly weekends, plan for Saturday or Sunday afternoons.

    I am a former DSS/TEPPS student and I attended our 40th reunion. The Historical Society was a pleasure. They put together some photos from the school over the years and we got to go browse
