Tehachapi Museum showcases a variety of historical relics
The Tehachapi Museum spotlights more than 100 years of local history.
The Tehachapi Museum (operated by the Tehachapi Heritage League) offers a great deal of variety in its exhibits. In it are relics dating from the white man's presence in the area, which began a little more than 100 years ago; handicrafts and tools used by the indigenous Indians; evidence of prehistoric animals and dinosaurs and natural history of the area as it is now.
The reason for this wide range of displays is probably due to the area's multifaceted history.
From a hunter-gatherer culture of thousands of years ago developed the Tehachapi Indians known as the Kawaiisu, only a handful of whom still reside in the area. The museum contains several artifacts and handicrafts from this culture, the members of whom spent their summers in the mountains and their winters in the deserts before the white man came.
The first permanent white settlers to the area were John and Amanda Brite, who came to the Tehachapis in 1854, settling in what's now known as Brite Valley. They built a sawmill, and made their living in the lumber trade. But in the years following their arrival, people came with the idea of doing everything from raising cattle, mining for gold and farming. When rich limestone deposits were discovered, kilns were built to burn the lime.
The communities of Williamsburg and Greenwich were founded not far from present-day Tehachapi. But it wasn't until the railroad came through that the town we know now – named from the Indian word tah-eechay-pah meaning oaks and springs – grew up around the Southern Pacific's Summit Station (near the Old Town area of today). Eventually, residents moved to the town's current location, which was incorporated in 1909.
From these multifarious occupations and locations come many of the relics housed in the Tehachapi Museum.
There is a plentiful array of practical objects dating from around the turn of the century and later, such as a horse-drawn plow; horse and oxen shoes; and domestic items such as dressmaker's pins, medicine bottles, and ornate door hinges and knobs.
Other relics date from the early 1870s period, when the Southern Pacific Railroad constructed the Tehachapi Loop. Items used by the Chinese laborers (who numbered 3,000 at the beginning of the project but who died in scores from the incredibly harsh working conditions) such as opium tins and a tattered shoe are available for view.
Visitors to the Tehachapi Museum can also get a look at the huge femur bone of a prehistoric mammoth and camel tracks dating back 25 million years, a doctor's 1910 surrey carriage, a Galion Road Grader dating from the early 1900s, and scores of historical photographs documenting events such as the 1952 Tehachapi earthquake and the 1932 flood of nearby Keene.
The Museum is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon-4 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are requested. (Museum hours may be reduced in winter. Call for November through April hours.) Visit the web site at http://tehachapi.cc/museum/.
The museum is located at 310 South Green St., Tehachapi. For further information, call (661) 822-8152.
