Carnegie Museum of Kings County — Attraction in Hanford

Honestly, exactly what I expected from a museum in Kings County. The first part of the exhibit, on the Yokut tribe, consisted of a few woven tools/baskets and did not explore any of the native vegetation. There was a very small corner (with no signage or attention being drawn to it) which housed the entirety of the influence of the mexian and black farm workers to the area. There was a video playing, however no signage or explanation on what it was about. There was ONE board that gave a brief overview on the Japanese farmers. Which had NO adjoining pictures, but did have a few pictures of various other Caucasian farmers right next to it. I enjoyed the deep dive into the Mussel Slough tragedy. The period comics depicting the struggle gave a wonderful view on how the railroad companies were thought of at the time. Overall, if you want to see a Caucasian centric exhibit on agricultural history, this is the place. But for an exhibit labeled 'the history of kings county agriculture' I fail to see how they depicted all the different farm workers and perspectives...

They made sure me and my guests were well taken care of and everyone had a great time! I highly recommend having your...

It's a very old building, I love the feel of it. Almost everything inside seems original and makes it feel like going back in time. The owner's cats are in the garden out back and one of them was super cuddly, which was amazing. Inside there are some antiques, like old telephones, coffee grinders, horseshoes, etc. A lot of it you can actually touch and see how it works. It was...
