As a scout leader I have taken many of Cub Scout to the Indian Museum. Lots to see, and hands on activities can be arranged for the youth.

Unique museum with fascinating history, amazing atmosphere, passionate staff, and beautiful artifacts. The interior appears built into the stone of the surrounding butte. Artifacts are displayed in casual places such as on a mantelpiece or set on a table. On view are woven baskets and rugs, pottery, querns, arrowheads, and paintings. Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. This museum began as a private collection, then passed through different hands with different focuses before it became a state museum. All of the museum's history is displayed in a way that provokes as much interest as its collection. I look forward to another visit .

This museum is a real gem hidden in the middle of the Mojave Desert. I remember 45 yrs. ago coming out to this place with my Girl Scout Troop and my mother, she was one of my troop leaders. The museum was interesting back then but in the recent decade or so the place has really had lots done to it and it looks Fabulous. Be sure to check out the schedule as it is not open all the time due to State budget cuts ...

This is a great place to go with family. Has a lot of history from 1930's Indians. Small but so much things to see in how they built houses and made pottery and so many other things. Has a small 1/2 hour walk trail outside. Was very cheap to get in and kids under 12 are free. Would recommend this place to anyone.

This is a State facility. it houses a surprising amount of indian artifacts. The items represent a group of several desert tribes. Some of the artifacts were dug up from indian burial sites. The building was once a private home and collection work. Outside there is a 1/2 mile desert walk wich does an average job of pointng out things of interest. While you are there, why not, but the main value is inside! Price $3 pp. Adequate parking. Near M and 150th. Not to handicap friendly.

Howard Arden Edwards built his home into the mountain, and it is uniquely fantastic! He incorporated boulders and the mountain into his home so they become part of his home. The myriad artifacts are enthralling, but I must say the home itself is spectacular! Open on weekends, the county has managed to air condition the interior without using an air conditioner, having huge piping drawing cool air from underground. There are outbuildings as well, and the surrounding scenery is near a sacred Indian site with pictography from long ago. There is a small entrance fee for adults, children 12 and under are free, and if you have the time, I strongly suggest you visit this site with children in tow. Our children were fascinated, never having been to such a museum with narrow rock staircases and mountain boulders incorporated into walls. It was well worth the time, and we plan to visit again!

This is worth the trip especially if you are into local Native American history. The story of the museum is interesting and the displays are excellent quality. It's even better when they are putting on a Pow Wow. You could really learn something. Very enjoyable.
