This museum is amazing! The art and artifacts are enough to keep you engaged all day. One of the most enjoyable presentations ia the food created out minerals and rocks. They had their Rock Sale today and we scored some treasures. The docents give tours answer questions and sometimes show a couple of very intriguing specimens. They make the museum most enjoyable. Many thanks to all of them!!

A visit to this museum is a great family affair. When my grandkids come to town, this visit tops their “list of must -do’s”. The artifacts are up close, and well displayed, the volunteers are welcoming, informed, and professional. I love the brightly colored art work (oil originals of American Indian life.) And of course the gift shop is a great draw for children and adults, reasonably priced. This museum also has a good display of local gems, and wildlife. I recommend a visit next door to the Cuyamaca College gardens display, featuring local native plants and water conservation ideas. They offer plants for sale as a fund raiser for the school. Well worth your time! Michael Collins, Jamul, CA.

These are just some pictures I took. But you have to visit this place in person. This place is spectacular, beautiful and informative. I really enjoyed looking at different things from the Stone age, native American artifacts. It's a must visit place in my book and I also liked the location. The water conservation is right next door.

Was Cuyamaca an historical person?

This question is not about the Heritage Museum. It is asking whether the community college is named for an historical figure. I agree with the above translation, that it is native origin and probably reads "from the clouds come the waters"
