Maidu Museum & Historical Site

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:47:25

This museum of tribal history is built on the edge of an ancient Maidu village, where families thrived for over 3,000 years. Exhibits of beautiful handicrafts and artifacts offer a modicum of solace after taking in the history of the Nome Cult Trail, a 100-mile forced march that killed half the tribe. Outside, there is a mile-long, wheelchair accessible trail under scenic oaks past sandstone boulders carved with petroglyphs and mortar holes.
