The Ford House Visitor Center & Museum is located on Main Street in Mendocino and it serves as the official Visitor Information Center for both the town and the Mendocino Headlands State Park. Built in 1854, the charming building is home to the historic and contemporary information about Mendocino and the area around it, offering brochures, books, maps, cards, gifts and videos. Videos cover such topics as the early 20th century steam whistle logging and the fascinating story of the migration of gray whales.
The Museum organizes seasonal exhibits on local flora and fauna, such as whales, wildflowers, and mushrooms. In March, visitors can enjoy whale watching walks.
