Take a free tour and discover Paso Robles history
The Paso Robles Pioneer Mu- seum, located at 2010 Riverside Avenue, south of the Paso Robles Event Center (fairgrounds), is a great place for an afternoon excur- sion and to learn the history of the Paso Robles area. Knowledgeable docents are on hand to answer questions.
The 20,000 square feet of building space shows Paso Robles through the years, even before it was Paso Robles, and gives visitors a glimpse of what life was like in the good ole days. A non-profit or- ganization, the Paso Robles Pioneer Museum is funded by donations and events throughout the year.
Exhibits include everything from prehistoric artifacts and glimpses through the settlement and life in early Paso Robles. Learn about the area’s
Western heritage;
see the country
store and post of-
fice displays and
what the inside of
a pioneer home
looked like.
There are
antique buggies,
carriages and
cars and a new
state-of-the art
exhibit honor-
ing the famous
pianist and
Polish States-
man, Ignacy Jan
Paderewski, who
came to Paso
Robles in the early 1900s for the healing baths for his rheumatism.
The actual one-room Geneseo schoolhouse stands outside the main museum building, complete with teacher and student desks. The schoolhouse was donated by the family of Linden Chandler in 2004. Originally located 11 miles east of Paso Robles, the Geneseo School

was in use until 1962 when school buses began transporting students between home and town.
The Pioneer Museum’s history of school exhibit located inside the main museum building includes
pictures and a short biogra- phy of Paso Robles area locals who have had a school named after them.
Take a stroll through Paso Robles
of the 1930s and 40s. See a one-third-scale replica of the famous Paso Robles Hotel plus several stores and businesses that
existed during that time. There’s a barber shop; a bakery; the Alexan- der Hotel; Dr. Wilmar’s office; the T& J Variety store; the Vogue dress shop; Bennett Pharmacy; Bryans Meat Market; R. J. Williams Real Estate Office, Hibbard’s Grocery, the Canary Cottage, Heaton’s and the Pine Street Saloon.
Wander down to Transportation Hall to see one of the largest collec-
tions of barbed wire in the western United States. This collection has been created in collaboration
with the Barbed Wire Collectors Association, the Pioneer Museum and the Branding Exhibit, which includes brands from all over the San Luis Obispo County.
Most recently exhibit is a collec- tion of Land Grant Maps and pho- tos of many of the original ranches in north San Luis Obispo County. This award-winning exhibit is brought to the museum by the San Luis Obispo County CattleWomen.
The Paso Robles Pioneer Museum is located at 2010 Riverside Avenue, south of the Paso Robles Event Center, and is open Thursday through Sunday from 1-4 p.m. Admission is free, but donations welcome. Groups can also arrange a tour, and the museum is available for special events. For more information visit pasoroblespioneermuseum.org
