Great small, local museum that covers the history of Roseville as told by what was the local telephone company. Docent that gave me a tour was very knowledgeable about both the early history of telephones and the local community. Both grew together.

My daughter and I visited the museum. Based on internet information and/or signage, we had the impression this museum was closed due to Covid. We were walking by this beautiful stately building and decided to walk up to the doorway...it was open and we went inside. This is when we found out the museum was open. We had a wonderful visit. This was enhanced by the fact we got to go to a real indoor museum after over a year of doing everything outdoors. The docent at the museum was friendly, helpful and gave great suggestions about what to view in the building. We viewed all the exhibits and then went to the upper floors to view the beautiful hallways on the courtroom floors. The courtrooms were locked, so we could not see inside unfortunately. If you are in Placer County Old Town area, don't miss coming here. It will only take you about an hour, and you will learn a lot about local and California history.

The local kids love to take pictures on the steps for homecoming and prom. It's easy to see why - such a beautiful building and location. Downtown Auburn is lovely and this is the perfect building and anchor.

We have visited Maidu parks on multiple occasions but have never had the opportunity to go in the museum so we took advantage on Museum Day (entrance to all museums on this day are FREE) to go see what it was all about. We have been to multiple Indian museums throughout the west so we had a point of reference. The Maidu museum is not very large but it is full of information that we found very interesting.The 100 mile march the Natives of the area were forced to endure was still another chapter in the abuse of the indigenous people at the hands of the US government. Even though we all know many of the stories it is still shocking when we once again revisit stories of the inhumane treatment. We probably were in the museum about an hour reading all the murals etc and really enjoyed a very interesting story of the people of this area.
