The Coarsegold Historical Society Museum, located in the Willow Glen area of Coarsegold, California, offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich history. Situated along the original stagecoach road to Yosemite, this designated historical landmark served as a way station for travelers heading up the mountain. With a unique collection of artifacts and exhibits focused on Coarsegold and the nearby foothills, the museum provides a comprehensive look into the area's past, from prehistoric to historic times.

Managed and maintained by dedicated volunteers, the Coarsegold Historical Society Museum invites visitors to explore its adobe building and learn about its role as a way station. The main room is furnished to resemble the late 1800s, while the barn showcases the changing landscape of Coarsegold over the years. Native American artifacts, including a typical Chukchansi teepee and grinding stones, highlight the area's indigenous history. Immerse yourself in the captivating stories and heritage of Coarsegold at this educational and engaging museum.

I accompanied my child on a class trip to the Coarsegold Museum. The volunteers did an awesome job with the classes that visited. Very informative and lots of artifacts to see.

Business need to update business hours on yelp and website. We arrived on Sunday and it shows it's open on Yelp, but it wasn't open. It should be open since there isn't much to do in the area.

No, because the lady that owns the property does not want to fix up the buildings in the buildings are just falling apart

I enjoyed this museum. It's small and quaint, but this is a small town. I appreciated the artifacts on the home and the Indians. Worth your time just to see and appreciate a little slice of history

I have been on the 41 tons of times but some how never saw this place. My kids are 8 & 10 and really enjoyed it. It's free but give a donation so it can stay open!
