About Coachella Valley History Museum

Coachella Valley History Museum preserves artifacts and exhibitions that trace how diverse cultures and industries shaped the Coachella Valley, with permanent displays housed in the historic Smiley-Tyler Adobe House including the Desert Cahuilla People Room, Water & Agriculture Exhibit Area, and a 1930s kitchen. Visitors explore the Date Museum, which chronicles the journey of date palms from ancient Middle East origins through their arrival and cultivation in the valley, alongside Railroad & Fire Department exhibits and rotating heritage displays. The museum grounds feature the 1909 Schoolhouse, outdoor displays, and gardens. Educational programs for children include in-person school tours, after-school and summer programs, and virtual tours led by docents. The museum in Indio publishes admission prices online; children 17 and under receive free admission, active military and veterans with ID enter free, and seniors receive discounted admission.
