Siskiyou County Museum — Attraction in Yreka

Awesome place, and way underpriced. It's an excellent deal, and you should definitely visit. It's an amazing museum with tons of exhibits covering numerous time periods throughout the history of Siskiyou County. The exhibits are full of excellent information and are located on two levels both indoors and outdoors.

Outdoors there is a paved path, and indoors there is a seat that people who can't walk up the stairs can sit in to get. It's only $3 per person for adults and $1 per person for kids. It's open 10-3 Tuesday - Saturday.

We just happened to stop in because we were in the area. They have 3 major sections inside their main building, devoted to Native Americans, general local history, and trappers. They also have an outdoor museum which is the part that pushes them to 5 stars. Full original shacks and buildings relocated to the museum, along with scale replicas. All are furnished with era appropriate furniture, appliances, and trinkets. I'm a sucker for these kind of things.

Appropriate for families, takes about 1 hour. Definitely stop here if you're in the area. This is a hidden gem in Yreka. Admission is cheap, but don't...
