Bernhard Museum Complex

The Bernhard Museum Complex includes a restored Victorian residence, winery buildings, and a carriage barn displaying nineteenth-century transportation methods.

Built in 1851 as the Traveler's Rest Hotel, the main building became the residence of Benjamin Bernhard in 1868, who transformed the property into a winery.

The museum presents living history programs where third-grade students participate in Victorian-era activities like blacksmithing, cooking, and farming chores.

Located at 291 Auburn Folsom Road, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM with free admission for all visitors.

The property features an 1874 stone winery building and a collection of period wagons, including an original mud wagon from the nineteenth century.
