The 20 Mule Team Museum is a free, small museum in Boron offering a nice break from the highway. It is easily accessible and filled with rich local history, covering mining, Boron, and how borax shaped Death Valley. The museum features unique and amazing displays, cool dioramas depicting the 20 mule team, great historical artifacts, and a replica miner's cottage outside. The friendly and knowledgeable docents provide informative context, making it a must-see, top-notch experience more than worth the stop. Visitors can also find indoor restrooms and a small gift shop.
Great presentation by the young man. Very knowledgeable!!

Small local mesuem. Lots of local history about the Borax mine and the Twenty Mule team wagons that carried the boxax across Death Valley. Now it's the largest open pit mine in the world. Right next door is an Air Force museum and across the street is a mine dump truck.
