Our 1920’s rustic cabin serves as the focal point for historic exhibits pertaining to the history of the San Jacinto Mountain communities of Idyllwild, Garner Valley, Mountain Center, Pine Cove, and Pinewood. 

Exhibits are rotated periodically. 

There is always something new and interesting to discover.
