Mission:

The purpose of the Fort Jones' Museum is to present the history of the community from the time of its original inhabitants to the present time, and to preserve, for public benefit, the natural, historical, and artistic heritage of Scott Valley.

About Us:

The outside of this "biggest little museum" features a Shasta Rain Rock and a wall incorporating obsidian, fossils, a cannon ball, mill stones, and Native American mortar and pestles.  The Fort Jones Museum also boasts "The Carriage House" where visitors can see wheeled vehicles, carriages, buggies, and vintage farm equipment.

Inside the 2500 sq.ft. space are hundreds of artifacts depicting the lives of local tribes, trappers, miners, pioneers, and soldiers.

The Fort Jones Museum features one of the finest basket collections and unusual rock collections in northern California. Also check out the sacred White Deerskin and the vintage gun collection.
