I had originally intended my entire review to read, "This place is dope!" ...but as I am the first…read moreto review, i have decided that I should write something with a bit more insight than that. I am a big fan of museums of all sorts, great and small. I appreciate the preservation of culture and information that they bring to the world. This one is brand new, so not everything is put together and it's pretty small but I like where it's going. It adds an extra element of awesome to the already awesome Rock Stop Rock Shop + Claudia Springs combo. Stop by, donate a few bucks, submit your suggestions.

Good museum and art center with added California perspective…read more This museum is a hidden gem it would be a gem in any community. The selections are gems of the first waters.

I was greeted with a hostile attitude by the woman who staffed the reception area as though she…read moreresented my entrance. After asking about tours, I was abruptly told that there would be none that day as they had an "event" that evening docents were preparing for. I asked about opportunities the following day and she dismissed the question as one of insensitivity by responding " my volunteers are all over the age of 50 and not knocking down my door to volunteer after an event!" As one of the few attractions in Ukiah, it would benefit the organization to have more welcoming and informative personnel- when I came home later that day and looked up their website, I realized the "event" was their annual gala - which is all she had to tell me and I would have completely understood the "all hands on deck" commitment something like this requires. Bad form and bad protocol...this woman is not suited for a position of hospitality.

Very happy with my latest experience visiting the Guest House Museum. My fiancé and I visited this…read moreafternoon today and were welcomed in by John. He was kind and very knowledgeable. We learned some of the history of the guest house and how it was originally built as the official residence for the Union Lumber Company (formerly knows as the Fort Bragg Lumber Company). I really appreciate the knowledge John shared with us. The Guest House Museum is run by volunteers, there is no entree fee but they do accept donations. Inside you can also purchase postcards, pins, magnets, books, and more. There is lots to see at this museum. I highly recommend stopping by and seeing this amazing piece of history.

This may be the most important museum in Fort Bragg. Truly an inspirational place! The window…read moredisplay caught my eye. The museum documents the life's work of the enigmatic Larry Spring who mixes science and fiction with his own broad strokes. There are events that happen here too. I've heard of puppet shows and concerts, fairs, and movie screenings. Could this be ground zero for the burgeoning art scene of Fort Bragg?

Ok so I admit that the "school" was closed when I happened upon it walking around Fort Bragg BUT…read morethe display and items described in the windows were just SO FASCINATING. I was a little disappointed that larry wasn't around (hey, it was NYE so I'm sure he was busy) but perusing the website elicited the fact that his various contraptions and the things I saw at his shop were in fact, for sale. And not very cheap either. I especially liked the fact that he had a declaration in one of his descriptions about how he doesn't have peer reviews of any of his new discoveries because that would be contradictory to a new discovery (how can anyone who has never seen it before [aka a "peer"] review something?). ok, the dude seems a little kooky but I like that he set up shop and that he had all the wherewithal to make all his declarations. It adds to the charm of Fort Bragg I'd say.
