The Grace Hudson Museum features the best of the region’s art, history and anthropology. Exhibits in the museum range in subject matter from Native American culture and Northern California coast history to the works of contemporary artists.
The primary focus of the museum is the work of Grace Carpenter Hudson, noted for her brilliant oil paintings of the Pomo Indians. The museum features over 30,000 related objects, including historical photographs and Pomo Indian artifacts. The building sits on a beautiful four-acre park with shaded picnic areas and a basket garden that grows all of the materials that the Pomo Indians used for their basket making. Also located on the grounds is Sun House, the former Hudson residence. It was originally designed by Grace Hudson and her husband, and is still furnished with their unique collection of furnishings and décor. Docent-led tours of the Sun House are held Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 3pm, and depart from the museum. Admission fees are nominal, and entry is free on the first Friday of every month. There is also a delightful gift shop open during museum hours, Wednesday through Saturday 10am to 4:30pm and Sunday noon to 4:30pm. Closed Mondays, Tuesdays and major holidays.
