Colton Area Museum interprets local history inside the former Carnegie library in Colton.
The restored civic building provides a compact destination for discovering the people, transport connections and communities that shaped the city.
The museum reopened after an exhibit renovation in 2024. Its historic exterior appears in the photograph, rather than a view of the current displays. Confirm the latest public opening or group arrangements before making a special journey, as this small museum does not keep the same schedule as a full-service public library. Use the official county museum information for background and current contacts.
