Everybody we take to see Pioneer Village has a lot of fun here.  This is a collection of mainly houses and commercial structures from various epochs of Bakersfield and Kern County history.

A newer section of the Village, 'Black Gold:  The Oil Experience' explains aspects of petroleum production.

Kern County Museum is adjacent.
The Museum Store is a good source for books on local history.

For the price of admission, I did expect a bit more from this place. It was however still worth the trip and I am glad we went. Lots of interesting local history and the kids and I really enjoyed exploring the building. The oil exhibit was very interesting and I wish my daughter was a little older so she could have appreciated it some more and not gotten bored so quickly. The kids museum part was lacking, but the effort was there. Very small exhibits, but good intentions.  I do wish I had planned more time to spend here. I gave us only about 90 mins, and it could have easily turned into a longer and more leasurely visit.
