The Trinidad Museum, located in the picturesque coastal village of Trinidad, California, is a beautifully restored Victorian Italianate bungalow that serves as a captivating historical exhibit. With five exhibit rooms showcasing a range of topics including Native American culture, natural history, and local heritage, the museum offers visitors a glimpse into the rich cultural and natural history of the Trinidad area.

Surrounded by two gardens, the museum features the Historic Garden, which showcases plants that would have grown in the original house garden, and the Native Plant Garden, highlighting the diverse flora native to the Trinidad region. From a redwood canoe carved from a single log to exquisite Indian baskets and a stunning mural depicting the old Tsurai Village site, the Trinidad Museum provides a comprehensive exploration of the area's past, including European contact, the Gold Rush, whaling, fishing, shipping, logging, and more.
