Western Hotel Museum

Really great place to learn the history of Lancaster and Antelope Valley which started in the 1890s. It is free for the public and open Fridays Saturdays and Sundays. This place was one of the first original buildings in Lancaster. So neat. Staff was very friendly and informative. Recommended if you would love to learn more about how Southern California started in the early days..

Cute and free museum! It’s fun to see all the old pictures of Lancaster.

We only spent one night here, but it was very nice. We had breakfast, make your own waffle, there was eggs and sausage patties and an over-all hoping selection of breakfast foods. The staff was friendly. The room was nice. Just a great experience up our otherwise hectic travel/move lol.

i've lived here for a decade, and JUST discovered how great this place is! Their collections of photos, maps, documents, and artifacts from the Antelope Valley's past (and the life of the building's former owner, Myrtle Webber) were so impressive! Each room in the building demonstrates a little bit about what life was like decades ago- from the flora & fauna, the natives that lived here, to the railroads and mining industries, and the local dairies of the early 20th century... this is a place you gotta visit if you want to learn-about and appreciate The AV's history. Plus the docents are so friendly, helpful, and answered my questions with their extensive knowledge. If you've visited places like the Whaley House in San Diego, or the Homestead Museum in La Puente, this is another historical home of SoCal you would love!

The gentleman behind the desk was very nice and loved telling the story of the hotel. But he wasn't aware of any ghost stories at the hotel

Great little museum. The oldest building in Lancaster. Had a genealogy library inside too!

really great place!

nice amazing great unique professional idealism

Sadly this well kept building from a bygone age is not open very often. I am not sure if they operate on city funds or donations but when they ARE open people are welcome to look around the small rooms with historic items and memorabilia. Perhaps try calling the city office to see what days they might be open because just showing up will lead to locked doors most of the month.

It's open on saturdays. I was able to look around but they're still renovating the place so the upstairs is closed to the public. Only one bedroom was staged, with historic items, for viewing

Closed when we arrived. Visited for its historical designation (CHL #658). Looked very neat, is very small.

Nice quick walk through to get the history of the place.

3 out of 5 stars only because on three different occasions I have attempted unsuccessfully to see the inside of this hotel. Always been closed for some odd reason. I wonder if it's even open any longer to the public.

Its a museum too small place

Place was not open when I went there,but some one answered the phone,want go here again
