Situated in a tastefully renovated red schoolhouse west of Boonville, this museum displays historical artifacts, including an interesting display centered on the Pomos (an indigenous Native American tribe who once populated this region and were famed for their beautiful woven baskets). You can examine the works here, ranging from 4ft-to-5ft storage baskets to tiny intricate examples barely the size of a finger tip.
