Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Western Hotel Museum is downtown Lancaster's oldest extant structure, originally constructed as a hotel in 1888. The building was known by a number of names during its business tenure, including the Antelope Valley Hotel, the Gillwyn Hotel, and the Western Hotel. Following its last owner's death in 1978, the Western Hotel Historical Society was formed to restore the hotel to its Victorian-era splendor. Today, it is operated as a living history museum that showcases a permanent collection of historical artifacts owned by the Lancaster Museum of Art and History. Displays include indigenous artifacts, mining equipment, California missions artifacts, and historic photographs related to Lancaster's civic history.
