About Cloud Museum

The Cloud Museum in Imperial County displays an extensive personal collection begun in 1989 by longtime Bard resident Johnny Cloud. Visitors explore cars, trucks, and tractors alongside power tools, hand tools, and household equipment. The museum also features boat engines, wheels, and artifacts from local businesses including the old Bard Post Office. The collection is well-organized and spans numerous categories, with items too numerous to catalog completely. The museum operates seven days a week, with hours published on the venue's website, though operations adjust during the hottest summer months. A caretaker maintains the property when Johnny Cloud is not present. The vast and impressive collection suits visitors interested in vintage vehicles, tools, and regional history. The museum is located in Bard, in Imperial County, California.
