The Tehachapi Museum, operated by dedicated volunteers from the Heritage League, offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of the Tehachapi area through an array of local artifacts. It features the Errea House, a historic residence furnished to reflect life from the early 1900s to the 1940s, along with the Milano Gallery showcasing a unique collection of Kawaiisubaskets.

The Heritage League, founded in 1973, aims to preserve the cultural, historic, and natural resources of the Tehachapi region by maintaining the museum and providing educational resources for individuals, schools, and organizations. The Settlers Gazette, the League's quarterly newsletter, shares historical insights and updates on Heritage League activities.
