Mission Statement
Through exhibits, wildlife, and living history, the High Desert Museum creates learning experiences to help audiences discover their connection to the past, their role in the present, and their responsibility to the future.
Description
The High Desert Museum initially was conceived to meet an important challenge - to provide information and opportunities to help individual citizens effectively participate in decisions being made about the region's natural and cultural resources. The Museum designs exhibits and interpretive programs that connect our audiences with the high desert landscape and the human experience on it. Through its programs, exhibits, collections, the Museum is an important steward of artifacts and ideas. Through volunteers and staff interpreters, the Museum is an essential interpreter of the land and stories of people who have lived on it.
