Amazing museum, excellent to learn more about This area of Ventura county and about the everyday story and more! The museum is full of artifacts, photographs and history. The docents are very kind and informative. I really enjoy to know how sounds the musical box and the old car horn, that was amazing! Grandioso museo para aprender más sobre el condado de Ventura , la historia cotidiana y mucho más. El museo está lleno de artefactos, fotografías e historia en general. Me resultó muy agradable y sorprendente saber como se escucha la caja de música antigua y la bocina del vehículo! Fue genial visitarlos! La docente del lugar es muy amable y nos proporcionó mucha información!

There is more here than meets the eye to see. Worth an hour for a visit to learn about local history. You get to walk through a caboose, depot, bunkhouse, and more. They even have working antique music machines.

What a fantastic museum. We spent the afternoon. There was much to see including rail cars.
Very informative on all aspects of Fillmore and surrounding area through the years. The staff were very friendly and took the time to answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend stopping here

The docents are amazing,knowledgeable, and fun! My kids loved the experience. Definitely a neat little day trip. They aren't funded except by donations, so go give them some love!! 🙂

Being there and spending some time sitting outside magically takes you back to the times when those trains ran thru the city, with a small town feel and life wasn't so busy. It's very nostalgic.

This is a cute little museum. It has a lot of historical "artifacts" from the 1920s to the 1950s. There is a cool old music box, some old toys, and some WW1 and 2 artifacts. It is small and certainly not modern, but for $4 for adults and children six and under are free, I would say it's worth it. There is a railroad car that was the conductors office, and that was fun to walk through as well. Along the promenade there are several old trains to see and an old Post office. There are functioning railroad cars as well since the Filmore Railroad company still runs trains out of the depot here. There is a little antique store that is inside two old cars. All in all a good little 1-2 hour excursion for me and my four year old.

Fillmore is a great day trip from LA with the kids. You can visit Bennet's Honey Farm, The Fish Hatchery and the Fillmore Historical Museum! The Museum has tons of trains around and if you ask, they might even open the caboose to show your kids! The museum has some interesting things in it if you do the tour. The highlight is probably the huge music box that used to be in an old theater. But even the ground are cool. My son loves the gazebo. In addition there is the old dentist house (which we didn't do this time, but have done in the past) which is VERY cool! Ask to see that!

There are other things to do in Fillmore too, like antique shops and even a winery in walking distance!
