No complaints here! From lovely pictures, awesome artifacts to Donna Crippen, the museums curator, its just a VERY pleasant experience! She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and as we all know, knowledge is power. She takes her knowledge and all the years of her living in El Monte and a love for what she does, combine all those ingredients and like an exquisite dish of rich historical food for the mind, Donna is the executive chef of ALL things El Monte. Theres such a pleasant at home feeling the second you walk through that front door and see beyond the Stanley Steamer and find Mrs. Crippen greeting you with a smile; eager to share the wealth of one of Californias most historical and influential towns. From the "Pioneer" room to the majestic El Monte Police Department display, this former county library invites you to come back again and again. Theres so much to learn that its impossible to take it all in in just one visit! Bring the family. Bring the class. Take the tour from one of the friendly docents or come alone to take it all in at your own pace. A nice perk is that it wont cost you 1¢ for admission. They kindly accept donations. After all, where are you going to find such "priceless" treasures of Californias past?! Well, in El Monte...

Being part of the wiggins family I have to give this a good review. This place really lets you know the history of El Monte. Kinda makes me mad to think what it has become!!!
