Local History Museum and Visitors Center

Local History Museum

1 of 13

The Tulelake Butte Valley Fair Friends have worked very hard to put together some very detailed exhibits of our local communities. There are sections in the museum that cover the history of each of our small towns in the area as well as history of the Modoc War, Japanese Internment Camp, World Wars I and II along with our memorial Veteran Wall. There is also information about homesteaders that settled in the area and how the Lava Beds came to be the monument that it is today. There is too much information and history in the museum to list, please come visit!
Museum Admission: Adults: $5; Seniors (55 & up): $3; Children (5-12) $2; Children 5 & under are free; Veterans are free
Museum is generally open Monday through Friday from 9am-4pm; If you would like to confirm that we are open please call the fair office at (530) 667-5312.

Tule Lake Segregation Center and Camp Tulelake

The fairgrounds office is also home to the National Park Service Seasonal Visitor Center for the Tule Lake Segregation Center and Camp Tule Lake. There is information about both of these locations in our fairgrounds lobby. As long as fairgrounds staff are here in the office, visitors are welcome to come in and get their national parks stamps and read the information that is available about each of the historic locations. Visitors are welcome to visit the fairgrounds museum for a small entrance fee. The fair office is generally open Monday through Friday from 9am-4pm, if you would like to confirm that the fair office is open please call 530-667-5312.
Effective September 2021 there is no parks staff at this visitor's center location, as it is a seasonal location. If you would like to request a site tour of the segregation center or camp Tulelake, call 530-667-8119 at least 2 weeks in advance.
