Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership. They have a lot of great programs throughout the week which would be great for school field trips or homeschooling co-ops.

**This review is from August 2025**…read more We lucked out on our drive back from Yosemite. On a whim, we turned into a neighborhood in Independence to look at some early 1900s homes and noticed what appeared to be a small museum. When we walked in, we were greeted by the nicest woman, who warmly welcomed us and mentioned there were clean restrooms in the back. They were, without question, the cleanest bathrooms we encountered during our entire trip. The museum was much larger than we expected. One side featured a beautiful collection of Native American baskets in a wide range of shapes, all with intricate and impressive designs. The other side was filled with historical artifacts from the region, offering a fascinating glimpse into the area's past. Eastern California Museum turned out to be one of the most memorable stops of our trip. Edited to add: We made the three-hour drive back to the museum last month so we could spend more time exploring. It was another great experience

On our visit, we were lucky to come across the volunteers with the Carson and Colorado railway firing up the Slim Princess #18. It's not everyday that you hearing a steam locomotive fired up. The volunteers shared information about #18, which they lovingly restored. While they don't offer rides, they are very happy to talk about the history of the train and the work that has gone into it's restoration. This is a worthwhile stop on any trip to eastern California.

When we got there, the door was locked but they opened for us and we were the only visitors at that time. They turned the lights on and we got to explore on our own. It was amazing to see the different farming equipment over time. It was cool that these were donated to the museum. Some equipment we were able to climb on and touch and others not but it was a great experience. There was also an area where they had information about dairy farms. We learned how they get the milk and how they process it. It was cool that they had a fake cow and you were able to try to milk it to see how the milk pump works! (It seemed a lot nicer and gentler than the breastmilk pumps ) It was fun and if you are in town I would recommend you visit this place. It's good for families with kids but also adults if you are curious to learn more about farming (the history of farming).
