Information about the geology of the region, Chemehuevi, mining, and the city's notable founders is nicely displayed. The volunteer staff is incredibly welcoming and knowledgable. The museum is open from 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Tuesday - Saturday. There is plenty of parking in front of the museum. There is a small, but nice, interactive area where kid's can draw and learn. There is a gift shop that is run by the local rock club in the front of the museum. The Museum is a must see if you are interested in the region. Plan an hour visit. Bring the kids!

They had volunteers who would answer questions, and the manager was on site as well, and they were all very helpful and knowledgeable in their own expertise. We definitely recommend stopping in.

It was a very nice experience and the staff was very informative and it kind of felt that I was getting my own private tour there is no admission but there is a donation box I would probably come back to check it out again. I ended up having a full-blown conversation with the host, she is a very lovely woman welcomed me with a kind heart and was more than happy to answer any questions I had. They have postcards and other little knickknacks you can purchase as a gift I could recommend this place to visit if you are only in town for a short time and need something to do. I found this place by accident due to walking around town waiting for my court date for traffic citation.

It took us quite a while to find it because Yelp showed it further down the road (address now fixed). Once we found it after driving past it several times on Main St we were rewarded with tons of historical information inside and some outside of this partially restored building. The docents were very knowledgeable and ready to talk your ears off about the history of that area of Arizona. Lots of old books and newspaper clippings to read in a couple of the rooms. There is no admission fee but a couple of donation jars and some books for sale to help support the place. We both tossed some money in the jar. It may be small but it is well worth the time to stop by if you are in to history.

I wad the only one out there and it was simply amazing. Crazy to think that ancient man did that with rocks scraping the earth. If you're in Blythe, stop by for sure, it's worth it. Don't climb over the fence or deface any of it. You can see where it was damaged before it was protected.

This weird building has had many tenants over the years -- including a real estate business that actually turned out to be a complete scam, selling houses that never actually existed! Today, you'll find a strange museum that houses what the owners say is evidence of alien encounters in the area. We had our dog, Doug, with us and were allowed to bring him in with us as long as we carried him. So I definitely got my workout in that day! The museum is tiny and costs $10 per adult. Did I understand everything in the museum? Did it make sense? Umm, definitely not! But we think it was well worth the stop for the weird experience alone. Before you leave, make sure you stop at the little store at the base of the museum to pick up some beef jerky.

The gift shop is small and they are expecting more inventory soon. The displays were nice and informative. I like the history of the location and information about project Icarus. The women on site were very friendly. We didn't pick up snacks at the store but it seems like the jerky is something worth trying. There was one additional shop on site that was closed but has beautiful sculptures near it. I recommend you to stop by, stretch your legs, and get creeped out by the alien stories. Can't wait to see how this place evolves.
