Twentynine Palms Historical Society — Attraction in Twentynine Palms

Don’t miss discovering the Old School Museum and all the Twentynine Palms Historical Society has to offer. This all volunteer community organization has worked hard to provide a rich sampling of the local and regional history with interesting displays and knowledgeable docents. The early homesteaders needed a school for their children in the wilderness of the Mojave Desert. They volunteered their labor and resources to provide for the community need to build a school. That one room school house, primitive but functional creates the foundation for the museum. You will enjoy learning about the heritage of native Americans living in the area, the gold miners living the American dream, and homesteaders struggling to carve out a new existence by building a town. The featured displays change regularly to showcase different historical themes. The annual “Weed Show” of found desert objects of beauty occurs in November. The gathering of Old Timers is held in conjunction with the Pioneer Days festivity’s in the third week of October. If you’ve never visited, make time to spend a couple of enjoyable hours and get the tour. If you haven’t been in a while stop by again to see what’s new. You’ll find this a very worthwhile venue for...
