About Meux Home Museum

The Meux Home Museum preserves a Victorian residence built in 1888 for Dr. Thomas Richard Meux and his family in Fresno, California. Visitors take guided immersive tours through the restored home to experience the architectural elegance and refined craftsmanship of the Gilded Age, viewing original period-specific furnishings, intricate woodwork, and carefully curated exhibits that reflect late 19th-century life. The museum offers general tours, private tours, and school tours designed for educational groups and researchers. Throughout the year, the museum hosts seasonal events including the Bygone Bazaar spring and fall markets, the Spring Garden Tea, and Bourbon by Gaslight. The home features rotating displays and detailed historical interpretation that connect visitors with the customs and transformations of the era. Docent-led experiences provide fresh insights into the lives of those who once inhabited the space and Fresno's cultural heritage more broadly.
