255 N. Main St., in Lakeport, west lake, (707) 263-4555. W-Sat 10-4, Sun 12-4. By donation, $2.
Formerly a courthouse, this 1871 brick building now reveals “The Mystery and History of Clear Lake” through its renowned collection of Pomo Indian artifacts--baskets, stone arrowheads, and tools--plus historical records, a restored courtroom, and a hunting and gun exhibit. A dramatic 14-foot replica of a Pomo Indian tule boat is a standout exhibit, and lovely vintage display cases and small chandeliers add to the overall interest. More exhibits at the Lakeport Historic Courthouse Museum include a collection of Lake County’s famous “diamonds,” an old-time telephone switchboard, and antlers from the last elk killed in Lake County. The museum is situated in the town’s leafy central park, where a small Vietnam Veterans memorial is displayed.
