Review & FAQ:

The Madera County Museum houses an extensive collection of photographs, documents, and artifacts which preserve Madera’s history.

It is housed in the original Madera County Courthouse which was built in the 1900s. The extensive collection housed within it is sure to bring the valley’s history to life. The main floor is divided into exhibits which focus on major themes such as Native Americans, agriculture, pioneers, logging, and the turn of the century.

Some of the most popular artifacts that you’ll come across are an altar cloth from a temple in Madera’s Chinatown, a full-size reproduction of a logging flume, and an excellent collection of Native American basketry.
