My husband and I have been visiting Cambria once or twice a year for nearly 30 years. Not once…read morehave we been able to visit this Museum because, every time we go there, we are greeted with a sign on the closed door saying they are closed for one reason or another. We were in Cambria in April of 2021. I complained about this fact to my friend Diane who is a resident. She told me that the staffing problem had been resolved. I think she said they were replacing the wealthy volunteers who always had more important things to do with actual employees who would want to work in order to get paid. Yeah, right. In preparation for this visit, I went on-line and found that their hours are "Friday through Sunday 1-4 PM and Monday 10 AM - 1PM." So my husband and I drove into town and parked nearby. When he got to the closed front door, it said that they had closed in January due to COVID. (Two years in.) I get a lot of emails from the Cambria Historical Museum. They seem to open when a Local has a book signing or other event. But, boy oh boy, they are 'never' open to the public. Maybe if they'd open their danged doors consistently during posted hours, they'd earn enough money to keep their doors open. Maybe it's a Catch-22. I don't know but I do know that "they" (whoever is in charge) really should be ashamed at themselves for not making this Museum available to the public. Lest you suspect that I'm exaggerating, please notice that there are only two reviews. That is because the Museum IS NEVER OPEN!

If you're strolling around downtown Cambria, this is a fun little stopover. It's a pretty…read morehistorical structure, a fun little piece of history and yet another reason this downtown is so beautiful. We were first attracted to the expansive grounds where families were sitting on benches and enjoying a sprawling, well-maintained garden. I always love when a museum doubles as an open to all place to stroll and enjoy without some fee required. You'll find a plaque that gives you some history. turns out this was the Guthrie-Bianchini house, built way back in 1870, occupied many times over and then saved through the efforts of the locals. The structure itself is quite nice and matches the aesthetic of the other occupied houses and businesses around it. It's not much, but it is just another thing people might take for granted when exploring. Consider sitting on the museum grounds and having lunch while in the area.

Black Hand Winery, Cambria, CA - December 1, 2023…read more We came in for a quick taste on a Friday afternoon. Owner/winemaker, Tom, was behind the bar and greeted us in his usual friendly way. We're wine club members. We only had about half an hour to taste, so we sped through the the tasting menu. This is a nice little tasting room with a bar and sofa, chairs, and table inside, and numerous small tables and chairs outside in a small courtyard that is enclosed on three sides looking out to the street. Black Hand does mostly red varietals, and that's what we tried on this day - Grenache, Tempranillo, Merlot, Cab. Sauv., Petite Verdo, and Sarah. Tom is a great wine maker, and we always enjoy everything he puts in front of us. The prices here are reasonable, and wine club members get 25% off their wine and 35% off on cases. Cost per bottle ranges from about $40-$50. Tastings are free for up to four people if you are member; otherwise, it's $15 per tasting waived with the purchase of two bottles.

Wow... wow... wow! This place was brilliant from the moment…read morewe walked in. Every wall was designed and decorated so beautifully. The art that was put together shows the passion from the creators. There was a room filled with Disney paintings that even brought tears to my eyes... my kids were fascinated by it. I cannot forget the bird feeders that were on the wall (how creative this is and who the heck would think of doing this) My son is 9 and had the best time ever. The guy at the front desk had so much knowledge about all the things and was very patient with all of our questions... Also they are Dog Friendly so even Kevin our Schnauzer got to participate and see the dog pictures on the wall. The staff came out to greet him. It just melted my heart. Thank you for a great time and if you haven't gone here yet... please do!

I was drawn to a nice selection of metal prints by the artist Arunas Zilys. The one I really liked I did not purchase, and I have since regretted that decision until today. I called the shop and spoke with Kassady, who was super helpful. I was able to purchase the piece I liked (thankfully they still had it) and arrange for it to be shipped. If you find yourself in downtown Cambria and like art, don't miss this place. They have a great selection, a beautiful gallery and knowledgeable and helpful staff. Five stars. p.s. - my order arrived the next day in perfect condition, very well packaged.
