Historic Sites and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, historic sites and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent.

East California Museum

The East California Museum in Independence, California, is one of the finest small town museums I have seen. The museum is divided into three main sections. The interior contains numerous exhibits of local history including an emphasis on Manzanar National Historic Site which is located a few miles south. A lage exterior exhibit space includes old buildings and all types of equipment from farming, aquiduct building, mining, and other. Across the parking lot is a nature trail through native plants and natural runnnig creeks. One of the most popular exhibits is the "coyote dentures" which were home made by an inexperienced man using coyote teeth.

The museum is a block west of Highway 395 near the Courthouse.
