About Folsom History Museum

The Folsom History Museum presents a permanent exhibition on the town's past, beginning with the Nisenan people who lived in the area and moving forward to modern times. Rotating temporary shows explore specific chapters, such as the town's long-running rodeo and how residents have remembered it. The museum is one of several sites run by Folsom History, which also operates an outdoor museum called The Square.
