Maidu Museum & Historic Site Explained
The Maidu Museum & Historic Site is an interpretive center[1] museum dedicated to public education about the Maidu peoples of what is now California, United States.
The museum sits at an ancient site where Nisenan Maidu families lived for 3,000 years. Hundreds of bedrock mortar holes, petroglyphs on sandstone boulders, rock art, and a vast midden area are evidence of thousands of years of residence.[2] The site has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1973.
The site is unique in the presentation of Maidu life.[3] [4] The museum offers interpretive programs, exhibits, multi-media presentations, and special events.
