Welcome to High Desert Museum

Amazingly alive. Delightfully curious. Wildly attractive.

We bring the high desert to life with engaging exhibits, fascinating wildlife, living history and riveting daily programs. Have a close-up encounter with eagles, owls, and other birds of prey. Meet our otters, bobcat, badger and porcupine. Listen to a stagecoach driver, pioneers, and storytellers from the American frontier. Experience Native American and Western art and culture in an environment unlike any other.

Come and see what everyone’s raving about.  It's closer than you think.
