Antelope Valley Indian Museum State Historic Park

The museum building stands on Piute Butte, incorporating natural rock formations into its structure while displaying Native American artifacts from multiple regions.

Howard Arden Edwards, a homesteader and artist, constructed this folk art structure in 1928, which later became a state historic park in 1979.

The exhibits present collections of Native American groups from the Southwest, Great Basin, and California, featuring traditional tools and ceremonial objects.

The museum provides hands-on experiences at Joshua Cottage where visitors can learn traditional food processing methods and fire-making techniques.

Native American artists regularly demonstrate their craft techniques and conduct traditional ground blessing ceremonies in the outdoor ceremonial arena.
