Hemet Museum

Born and raised here, and had never been to the museum before. We were pleasantly surprised by the history of this town. Found some nest articles and information on my family and ancestors that were also from Hemet. A neat little take back in time to what Hemet once was. Lots of neat artifacts that have been donated by local families over the years. Check it out. It’s ran on donations.

The museum is located in the old freight house of the old train station (depot). And is one of the oldest buildings still standing in Hemet.
Parking: Free parking in front of the museum. If you can’t find a spot, there’s also free parking across the street on Latham.
If you’re a big railroad fan and/​or antique fan, you’ll love this museum. If antiques aren’t your thing, you’ll want to skip it.
So many cool things to look at from old signs, WWI uniform, farming tools, to an antique dental chair.
The volunteers are enthusiastic fountains of information. I think we were only here for about 35 minutes or so (on a tight time schedule), but I could have spent hours there. Just looking at the the stuff.
Crazy the amount of photos I took, and I didn’t even take photos of everything.
Admission is free. Although donations are appreciated.
The museum is only open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 3 pm. during the months of September to July. It’s closed the entire month of August.
