Welcome to the Exeter Historical Museum

Dedicated to safeguarding the cultural and historical heritage of California’s Central Valley, our mission is to curate and share an evolving archive of rare artifacts, photographs, and documents. We strive to honor the diverse stories and traditions that have shaped our region, ensuring they are accessible to future generations. From the bustling towns of Exeter and Bakersfield to the vibrant communities of Strathmore and Porterville, our collection reflects the rich tapestry of life in the San Joaquin Valley, including the proud heritage of the Tule River Tribe.
