The museum sits at an ancient site where Nisenan Maidu families lived for 3,000 years. Hundreds of bedrock mortar holes, petroglyphs on sandstone boulders, rock art, and a vast midden area are evidence of thousands of years of residence.[2] The site has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973.
The site is unique in the presentation of Maidu life.[3][4] The museum offers interpretive programs, exhibits, multi-media presentations, and special events.
