Kern County Museum 10/27/2006

Sixteen acres of landscaped beauty surround and make up the Kern County Museum. The museum is home to more than fifty different historical buildings that make up an old-time town and include a doctor’s office, dental office, dressmaker’s shop, pharmacy, church, jailhouse, railroad car, photography studio, etc. The museum is also home to an ongoing exhibit “Black Gold: the oil experience” that requires an additional entrance fee. In addition to these attractions the museum has a children’s discovery center for activities and throughout the year they host various activities like trick or treating at Halloween. It’s an interesting way to spend the day, but I wouldn’t necessarily buy an annual pass. more

Kern County Museum General Store 3/28/2006

The Kern County Museum General Store is well kept and stocked, the staff is nice. There are lots of items to chose from, all are new but many are made with the "olden" days in mind (after all, you would have just taken a trip to the past by going to the museum). The last time I went was for the safe halloween to buy tickets and I was treated well. more

Interesting Place 3/22/2006

I have fond memories of this place as a child and they often put on Events, like the safe halloween which is great for children and I have taken mine once so far. If you haven't taken your kids, I urge you to do so, while they may be a little bored at first, they will quickly become wrapped up in the history of the stuff there to see. more

It's a quaint place! 11/26/2005

I recently became a member of the Kern County Museum because of the many functions they have. It's a quaint place - small and unique. I recently went to the Oil and Gas Exhibit and found it to be interesting. The guides were very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the oil and gas history of Kern County. I'm looking forward to future events! more
