Murphys Old Timers Museum

The name is a good hint that this place approaches history with a humorous touch. Housed in an 1856 building, it has an inscrutable tintype of the outlaw Joaquin Murrieta and the entertaining ‘Wall of Comparative Ovations.’ Guided tours of town leave from the museum every Saturday at 10am.
