💬 What Parents Say

• 🕐Plan your visit for the 1st or 3rd weekend of the month when tours are offered (8am-noon). Availability is limited, so check ahead and arrive early to secure a spot for the guided tour experience.
• 💡Budget about 30 minutes for your visit. The tour is short but packed with original Newland family artifacts and detailed history about Huntington Beach's founding family—well worth the $2 admission.
• 💡Research the Newland family's role as a founding family of Huntington Beach before your visit to deepen your appreciation of the exhibits and gain context for the original items on display.
• 🕐Avoid rainy days when visiting, as the museum closes during rain. Plan your trip during clear weather to ensure the attraction is open.
• 💡If you're in the area during Labor Day weekend, combine your visit with HB Civil War Days (Southern California's largest Civil War reenactment) for a fuller historical experience of the region.
