A small local-history museum in the original schoolhouse, free with donations welcome. Staff get consistent praise and there is a gift shop. The catch is the hours: reviewers report limited days, shorter in summer, and one arrived to find it closed. Check before setting out. A short stop.
Run by the local historical society, this restored 1920s schoolhouse lets kids peek at desert pioneer classrooms and homesteading artifacts. Small, free and quick — it pairs nicely with the neighboring Oasis of Mara. Check seasonal hours, as it closes weekdays in summer.

Unfortunately I went on the day they were closed. So I didn't get to go inside. I did enjoy walking around the premises.

This is a hidden gem in a small town catering to tourists and locals alike. Admission is free although donations gratefully accepted. The museum is housed in the original, first town schoolhouse that turns 100 yrs old this year 2026. Worth a visit, great giftshop too! Check the website for hours open. Limited, especially in ☀️ summer.
