The Museum of Natural History - the only one in the California State Park system -- opened in 1962. It served over 10,000 visitors in its first two years alone, and now between 45,000 and 50,000 people visit the Museum annually, including 5,000 children who participate free-of-charge in the docent-led school group programs that support California's required science and social studies standards.
