Grace Hudson Museum, Art museum in Ukiah, California.

The Grace Hudson Museum stands beside the Sun House, the redwood Craftsman bungalow that Grace Hudson and her husband John designed and built in 1911 in Ukiah, California. The house and museum, which holds the couple's 30,000 collected objects, are owned and operated by the City of Ukiah within the 4-acre Hudson-Carpenter park.

Grace and John Hudson returned to Ukiah after working in Oklahoma Territory from 1904 to 1906 and built the redwood Craftsman bungalow called the Sun House in 1911. John died there in 1936 and Grace in 1937; she left the house and land to her nephew Mark Carpenter, who preserved it with 30,000 collected objects and gave it to the City of Ukiah. The house is California Historical Landmark #926 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The museum displays portraits of Pomo Native Americans painted by Grace Hudson alongside regional artworks and objects from Pomo culture. These collections offer visitors a view into how an artist documented the people who lived in the area.

It is best to plan a visit on a weekday, as the museum operates several days each week. It is good to check current hours ahead of time and allow enough time to see both the museum and the residence.

The Sun House displays a Hopi sun symbol above its front door, reflecting the Hudsons' interest in Native American cultures. This architectural detail reveals something about the residents' personal interests and connection to the region.
