TRINIDAD MUSEUM

The Trinidad Museum was incorporated in 1983 and was housed in a small, inconspicuous gear shed until the move in 2009. Trinidad's rich cultural and natural history, with emphasis on Tsurai Village, Yurok traditions, European contact, the Gold Rush, whaling, fishing, shipping, logging, transportation, Trinidad Head light house, and commerce, is now being told in a Trinidad home which is an historic exhibit itself... The Trinidad Museum Society (TMS) was founded in 1980 and incorporated in February of 1983. The basic motivation was to provide a means to retain historic materials still remaining in the community and to establish an organization able to take advantage of any opportunity to establish a museum to collect, preserve, and interpret the history and natural history of the greater Trinidad area - the sea, shore, and coastal area between Little River to the south and Stone Lagoon to the north, an area not specifically delineated in the Society documents but defined by consensus..
