What visitors say
This is the best little museum for a town's historical society - a Victorian era house, turned town's first City Hall, turned history museum. Contrary to googles current listing, the Museum is OPEN on Thursday afternoons. Worth a visit!
Really neat little place, staff was warm and welcoming! Loads of local knowledge!! I was in a rush so didn't get to look at everything (you'll laugh at this statement when you visit)! Definitely worth a visit.
This museum is a "must do" for anyone interested in Temecula Valley history and development. Five stars all the way.
