The towns of Nevada County are like museums in themselves! (In fact, all of Downtown Nevada City is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.)

But if you're looking for a more traditional museum experience, you won't be disappointed.

Click the State Park links for information on natural and history museums located in each of the parks.

The Chamber of Commerce page shown below the red bar gives excellent information on area museums.

We've listed the basic contact information for those museums that don't have Websites of their own; contact them for hours and other details.
