Maidu Museum & Historic Site

More Info

General Info

The Maidu Museum & Historic Site offers visitors a unique combination of a world class museum and 6,000 year old Native Californian Indian village site. Graced by oak trees and bordered on the south by a branch of Linda Creek/Strap Ravine, the nature area offers a loop trail that takes you past ancient petroglyphs and hundreds of bedrock mortars for grinding acorns; evidence of Nisenan / Southern Maidu occupation of the site for thousands of years. Inside the museum you'll find exhibits portraying the Maidu way of life as well as an art gallery featuring the talents of contemporary Native Americans. The Museum Gift Shop offers a wide selection of books about Native Californians, handmade jewelry, minerals, arrowheads, other cultural artifacts and many nature-related items.

I love that this museum has artifacts that were used right there. It's awesome to see where the Maidu tribe lived and how they lived.

This museum was awesome! The set up was excellent and easy to follow the displays where easy to read and understand for children under ten. The hands on activities where fun for all ages and the walking tour was very very informative. The artwork was just amazing and we will be returning!

Fun place to browse around. The trails where you can see the indian rock carvings is pretty cool (but hard to distinguish most of them).
