Maidu Museum & Historic Site

Leroy Hahn

The displays they have are done very well. My impression was that a display of Maidu baskets will happen in the future. As museums go this one is rather small , but very well displayed . The young lady at the counter was very helpful and well informed. I asked if they had any books for sale of Ishi. She said no, but found a copy of a book, which I did not have I took a picture of it and will try Amazon.

We made a special trip during the week to visit the park only to find out its only open to the public on the weekend. During the week, it's reservation only for large groups. 3 stars only to make this initial comment. Stay tuned for my update! 04/09/22 Finally made it back. Changing my ratings to 5 stars. Nice little hidden treasure in the middle of a suburban neighborhood in Roseville. Small, but well-done museum about the Maidu in the area and the rest of the Native American groups in California. Short easy walk to a number of petroglyph sites and numerous grinding rock areas. We enjoy finding Native American rock art and we have visited numerous rock art locations around CA, AZ, UT and NV and have hundreds of photos. The Petroglyphs here at Maidu are not that detailed or sophisticated with more of a straight-line design with some wavy, but no animals, humans or real abstract designs. Definity a cool way to spend 3 to 4 hours in a place where people had lived before estimated to be at least 8000 years ago.
