This is A small but extremely well maintained museum which is stock full of memorabilia of all kinds from prospecting to movie making. Hollywood it appears highly favoured the Kern Valey area as a location backdrop and there is plenty of history on show about it here. I visited with my Two year old son and he loved it, especially the prospectors cabin outside and the myriad of vehicles. We only had an hour but could have stayed much longer. Staff were extremely helpful.

This is the place that will answer that. From old mining tools to an interactive map of Kern River Valley to Native American artifacts, this place has just about everything. Be sure to check it out if you're in Kernville. Oh ya, and it's free to enter.

The docents were very friendly, and explained things very well. The exhibits were fine, too.The museum is right across the street from a delightful little restaurant with a patio. If you have a dog,they will bring him/her a treat on the house.

We enjoyed learning about the local history and meeting some great people. The museum has many pictures reflecting the lives and times of the Kern River area. The people working there were eager to share their information with the visitors.

Very nice museum relative to the history of Kern Valley. Lots of photos and exhibits relative to the area. Kernville was a major filming area for western movies and they have a great movie room telling the history. Outdoor exhibits also. Nice way to spend a couple of hours.

Our family of four stopped in to see what the Museum had to offer, and we were pleasantly surprised. We spent almost an hour there wandering through the museum. It is very nice in that you can actually pick up and touch/operate many of the items on display. Very hands on for the kids!

My husband and I were in town overnight on business and decided to stop by the Kern Valley Museum since it was near our motel. We were surprised to find that the museum is larger than it initially appears and contains many interesting collections both indoors and outside in the back. The friendly docents are knowledgeable on area history and eager to share information. We ended up spending a little over an hour looking through all the artifacts and information on display, as well as talking to the staff. The best part is that the museum is free! I highly recommend that you stop by.

We went on a weekend trip to Kernville. We were fortunate enough to stumble upon the museum in town. We were amazed at the amount of items in the museum, as well as the volunteer staff that were more than willing to provide information on items that we had no idea of their purpose. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Kernville and we learned a lot about the history of the area.

This museum is terrific. It is completely run by volunteers and the docents we met ( Cindy, Gene, Mary) were friendly, informed and helpful. Museum itself is beautifully maintained. Will visit again.
