From 2004 to 2008, the former Mt. Whitney Power Company Substation was renovated into what is now the Exeter Historical Museum. It was a million dollar project, and would not have come to fruition were it not for a group of dedicated volunteers. The project was the culmination of 30 years of hopes and dreams of local residents who wanted a museum for the community.

"Open a year and what a fantastic museum" is what is being said about our Exeter Historical Museum. The museum has now been open for over a year with guests visiting it in ever-growing numbers. Many more local residents have had a chance to visit the museum and the word is spreading around the valley that Exeter has another special attraction to visit. Our six video displays continue to enthrall our guests who continue to occupy the seating provided for viewing.
The Museum Committee, consisting of Museum Director Chris Brewer, Board President Leon Ooley, Wes Clover, and Wilma Hirni continue to work to provide a well-rounded program for museum visitors. As a reminder, the committee reports to the Board of Directors of the Exeter Art Gallery and Museum Association, a private non-profit organization. With the Downtown Gallery at 179 East Pine St, next to Book Garden, serving as the gathering point for those interested in donating artifacts and other items to the museum (funding assistance is always welcome) donations are still coming in faster than ever. The telephone number for the Downtown Gallery and Museum Director Chris Brewer's office is 559 592-2020. Last Updated (Tuesday, 08 September 2009 21:02) Do you have any special programs?
