Tastefully decorated little museum with friendly staff. Nice quirky exhibits with great narratives about the history of Calistoga. The main Sharpsteen guy worked for Disney before retiring in Calistoga where he left his mark. Souvenir counter sells the cutest tiny dolls for an incredibly affordable price. Check them out! We ended up buying 5 of them!

I loved learning about the history of th ten in such a visual way. Loved the room dedicated to the donor of the museum and his career with Disney. The Huichol art as a special exhibit was superb. The suggested donation of $3 as your entry fee was more than worth it.

It includes a restored resort cabin furnished in period 1860 furniture. Defininitely worth a visit.

check this sleeper out it is right next to the cop shop in town and it's free. Everyone in town directed us to check it out and we are glad we did, takes about an hour

Gorgeously appointed museum, immaculately kept, generous inventory and comprehensive historical information. The women who volunteer there were friendly and accommodating. I was inspired to join.

By museum standards, this is a tiny little place located up a side street in Calistoga. For its size, it has a huge amount about the history of Calistoga and the surrounding area. The staff was local, and all extremely well versed in the information, plus we heard several wonderful anecdotes that had not been written down. The old vacation... More
