Kern Valley Museum

Registration window April 13, 10:00 a.m. -April 17, 7:00 p.m.

Come visit the Kern Valley Museum in Kernville and learn about the Gold Rush, Native Americans, mining, and much more! Knowledgeable docents will lead you on a tour though the museum and show you the many artifacts the lend to the rich history of the Kern River Valley. You’ll also learn about hydroelectric power and how Lake Isabella was formed to generate electricity. The museum also offers a recently added display on the history of recreation in the valley, and a display on local cowboys and ranchers, as well as many movies that were filmed here. Once the tour is over, you are free to explore the town’s shops and restaurants, or bring your lunch and enjoy a picnic at the park by the river.
