What visitors say
I grew up 25 miles from Chino. Rarely in this town. Never heard of this museum until today. A very dear friend took me and my father there for a visit. Very knowledgeable staff regarding the founding of this city. Support your local…
The re-opening of the museum has been a great success! Several items of interest for anyone from the community or looking to get more information about the history of the great city of Chino.
Very educational, and great and friendly volunteers. Make sure to check out Chino's first jail, just across the street from the old school house.
