Join other visitors from around the world who have come here to experience this unique museum setting. You’ll find eleven acres of indoor and outdoor exhibits including the original depot and steam locomotive engine #9.  Experience what life was like over 100 years ago.

Join us on September 9 through 11 for our annual Laws Museum event commemorating the life of Curley Fletcher.

Curley Fletcher was a local Owens Valley writer and poet, whose literature had a profound impact, not only in his lifetime, but is remembered and recited around the world today, and certainly will be for many years in the future. Curley's poem, The Strawberry Roan, is a classic.

Curley arrived at the town of Laws as a baby in 1882, and after death was buried at Bishop Pioneer Cemetery in 1954. Fletcher's collection of poems, Songs of the Sage, was reprinted in 1986 by Peregrine Smith Books with a preface by Hal Cannon, Folklorist, The Western Folklife Center.

Exciting News! Many of you know the historical significance of the 1883 Agent’s House. And you know that without a docent available, the house remains shuttered.

What you may not know, is that we are working to have the house open daily for everyone to enjoy. We are delighted to report in 2022 we have received a grant from the City of Bishop dedicated to prepare the interior for visitors.  Our Adopt-a-Building program along with support from the County of Inyo will help us to have the exterior painted just as soon as the weather allows.

We Need You! This is where you have the opportunity to lend a hand, the Agent’s House desperately needs a new roof.
