The Mojave River Valley Museum

The Mojave River Valley Museum is dedicated to preservation and interpretation of the heritage of the past and present for the people of the Mojave River Valley.

The museum collects and displays artifacts and information related to the prehistory and history of the area from early man, pathfinders and pioneers through the accomplishments of space exploration.

Archaeological collections span some 50,000 years of human occupation in the area. Actual artifacts from the famous Calico Early Man Site are on display, along with a variety of material from many Paleo-Indian, Archaic and recent sites found throughout the desert. The museum also displays gemstones and minerals for the geologist and rock hound. These represent a portion of the variety of mineral wealth which has been found and continues to be mined in the Mojave Desert.
