The Mendenhall Museum, located in California's picturesque Santa Ynez Valley, boasts one of the West Coast's largest collections of petroliana, including gasoline pumps, globes, and porcelain gas and oil road signs. Founded over fifty years ago by Jack Mendenhall and currently managed by his son and daughter-in-law, Mark and Vickie, the museum also features an array of race cars, racing memorabilia, license plates, and other antique treasures.

In addition to showcasing their extensive collection, the museum offers private tours for individuals and clubs, hosts special events such as weddings and family reunions, and serves as home to the Dry Lakes Racing Hall of Fame which inducts new honorees biannually. Mendenhall's Museum provides a unique and nostalgic experience for automotive enthusiasts and the general public alike.
