"What a great stop for our last day in Trinidad. Really friendly and informative guide, who not only was patient with all our questions but also encouraged us to take our time and enjoy the space."
"Looked nice from the outside and the gardens were nice however we were not able to view the inside of the museum. After waiting nearly a half hour because Google said they open at noon we walked to the museum only to find that they actually do not open until 12:30pm Thursday-Saturday."
"Super cute local museum! Located right off the main road, there is a small parking lot and a little garden full of flowers in the back. The lady at the front was so nice and helpful, told me all about the history of the area. Definitely stop by if you're driving by Trinidad!"
"Definitely worth visiting, not a huge museum but friendly, knowledgeable staff and loaded with details about native peoples, natural history/geology, and the development of Trinidad as well as the nearby parks. Really enjoyed the large exhibit of Yurok woven caps, baskets, etc, beautiful patterns ("friendship/snake nose"!). The sea creature exhibit is a helpful guide for visiting beach combers (what's a... chiton?) as is the numbered local mineral and rock ID key, very cool. Lots for history buffs, too. Nice that it's free, but don't forget the donation box by the door :) Can easily spend an hour+ just reading about those here first and keying out the many lovely stones."
"What a delightful surprise...! Stunning "First People's" basket work (yes, baskets made from porcupine quills) and other local Native American artifacts, fascinating photos from the late 1800's and early 1900's of major portions of this coastal town's history: Native village, redwood lumber port, whaling station, fishing village, tourist destination and more. An excellent way to invest an hour or two on a rainy day. Physically small but hugely interesting!"
