Victor Valley Museum

About Us:

The San Bernardino County Museum installed temporary exhibits in Victorville's courthouse lobbies and hallways to honor the U.S. bicentennial in 1976. These exhibits were the catalyst for the formation of a nonprofit museum, chartered in 1978. Displays remained in the courthouse for more than a decade until the Victor Valley Museum building was constructed in Apple Valley; it opened in 1992. The museum operated as a not-for-profit entity sustained by many community volunteers. In 2010, with the support of San Bernardino County First District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt, the Victor Valley Museum returned to its roots, becoming a branch of the San Bernardino County Museum system.
