History Room: Exhibits trace the story of Bolinas and its inhabitants;including natural history, the Native American Coast Miwok, the Spanish, then the lumbering, ship building, dairies and ranches that sprang up to provide supplies for burgeoning San Francisco during the Gold Rush.  Eventually a summer colony developed that evolved into the community of Bolinas.

Courtyard: Water and light playing over a stone fountain and bird songs set the tone for the courtyard where one may just enjoy the ambience or attend various events.

The Museum also presents movies, lectures, workshops and other special events.
