The Little Museum with the Big Mammoth
Author talks and bird walks, mining tall tales and geology deep dives, local history and desert mystery … whatever you like, we’ve likely got it!
We’re proud of our unique area and colorful history, and educating visitors is a big part of our mission. To that end, the Shoshone Museum hosts a variety of scheduled talks and events, running from autumn through spring (generally October to April). All events are live and in-person; regrettably, we aren’t able to record or stream our talks at this time.
Talks are always free – and donations are always appreciated!
Mark your calendars! Vole Fest 2025 is happening Saturday, March 29, with a full day of exploration, education, and fun—all in celebration of our favorite desert native, the Amargosa Vole!
