A quaint museum that is a lovely spot, especially if you are short on time. It isn't overwhelming and a nice spot for young kids.

Not being from the area, I would have liked a little more information posted about the animals, rather than just what they were.

First time here and we loved it for it's location, price, and exhibits. I have never seen such an amazing collection of taxidermy before! Our guide dog Felice really was fascinated by them too. Accessible, friendly staff members and we spent a solid two hours in here. Well worth it!

Small but well curated natural history museum focused on area wildlife. I went during a special native plants special exhibit, so my flower photos aren't of displays present normally.

Questions & Answers

I live in Cachagua and yesterday I observed a Sonoma Chipmunk in my yard. My old field guide has their southern range down to Marin County. Have they expanded their southern range to Monterey County?

Hello, It's an endemic species only found in Northern California and there doesn't seem to be any record of them being found South of San Francisco Bay. If you're able to get a picture and post it to iNaturalist with the location it should help to identify it. I hope this helps!

The PG museum is currently closed. I left my old eyeglasses at my optician's office--to be recycled or reused.
